LOL that's very accurate!! I always feel like any project I get assigned requires way more time than is possible for me to actually give to it.

Sounds about right to me. I sometimes feel like I must be in some experiment, and on the other side of the mirror are people in white lab coats turning knobs and making everything more intense. It's that thing where whenever I think I'm caught up, or more or less have things under control, something new has to be factored in. What joy.

Exactly this. And also the feeling of getting “ahead” of some things only for the scope to change or whatever to the point that all the work to get ahead was wasted effort 😭

I’d also add miraculously getting 80 hours of work done in 40 billable hours

I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.

Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
