Stable, Diverse, but Stuck
Stable, Diverse, but Stuck
A good, long, and stable career with the opportunity to switch projects every 2-3 years.
Stuck somewhere between agile software development and being a factory-based manufacturer. Also, limited room for advancement unless you plan to leave software development for a management position. No culture of investing in workers.
Stop talking about moving programmers off the general salary grades into programming "LL" levels and do it. There is literally nowhere for a SWE to go when they hire into the top of the scale designed for factory work.
Invest in your people. Get them to conferences, trainings, and make tuition programs easier and more available.
