100% true. I can easily relate to all the points that you have described. Some challenges that I find irritating as a developer are:

  1. Unrealistic due dates: delivery managers sometimes just expect us to work 24/seven. They promise clients on the estimates we provide but then expects us to deliver 3-4 days prior.

  2. Micro-Management: Ever felt like working on weekends is much smoother than working on a weekday. Welcome to the micro-managed society. Leads, delivery manager and sometimes even clients want to know what's the status of the project each and every day.

  3. More calls, less development time: again, to micro manage, they need daily stands ups, touch points, morning bridge, evening bridge, high tea, town hall meeting, daily demo, weekly demo, final demo, code reviews and much more annoying and boring calls.

I think I have spoke enough๐Ÿ˜‚.

Thank you very much for the opportunity, I really appreciate it.

Give me some time, I would want to improve my android development and DSA. Get a good android project done and solve a good amount of DSA questions. With the effort I put in this month, next month my resume would be better.
