Yup, senior IC here, been getting roped into more "manager" type stuff but fuck me are those things obnoxious. Perf reviews, budgeting, promos, god damn.

Yeah... A lot of time they don't offer enough money to make that switch IMHO

Offering as some sort of privilege. Bitch you want me to take that shit on, show me the money

Yea my next promo is senior and honestly I'm probably just going to take that for the title and then fuck off. Based on my team's current seniors it's exactly how you describe it. Basically just manager light.
