I don’t think I’m necessarily over worked. I don’t work overtime (not approved or funded at the moment). I’m a senior developer, so I’m involved in architectural decisions, I’m expected to work on any part of the system, I write test plans and update design documents.
I take part in planning work, as we all do with agile an I usually provide guidance for that work.
I mentor and help other people, offer advice to them as well as to my manager when he asks. I’m basically given freedom to keep an eye on everything and help out or guide. I also investigate issues and communicate with the clients when required.
I’m not involved in devops, we have someone for that. Our software is installable in individual machines, but not deployable on cloud infrastructure. I’d that makes sense. We don’t have users or profiles in the normal sense; we don’t develop a web based system. We don’t do server management or application hosting.
I think I’m paid fairly well and I get a decent vacation allowance and benefits. I have no idea what the industry standard is.
Does that answer your questions?
Sure, I'm just realigning my expectations for job hunting
Good luck!
One important point, I live in Canada so some of my information may not be so relevant to you.
