What kind of side projects actually keep you motivated after a full day of work? I have noticed that the only projects I consistently make time for are the ones that solve a problem I genuinely care about or find interesting. Those projects often teach more practical skills than forcing myself to build something just to add another item to my portfolio. Have your best tech projects come from curiosity or career planning?

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

I just had an L7 sdm interview with Google. Seemed to go very well except one of two system design interviews. The one went great and one went ok until they asked me to estimate the cpu/ram/server needed to handle the workload. I could give a great answer. We shall see.
