Hey folks,<p>I have been working as SWE / SRE for last 5 years in FAANG and a big startup, prior to that I was working as normal SWE writing code for the customers.<p>One thing I noticed especially in the infra space is that work itself consistently consists of migrating from one system to another, or to new shiny service you wrote. Migrating all the existing internal teams, sometimes called customers, after some time this becomes quite boring, repetitive and exhaustive as well due to many hats you need to wear (you should keep your team up to date, keep users of the system up to date, keep management up to date, write code, document it, make sure rest of the who didn't work on it understands it etc).<p>I wonder how is everyones experience with this? Do you do anything to exit from this endless loop? To me it feels like my only exit is returning back to normal SWE role where you can ship to prod many times a day and don't care much about how many % of the users started using the feature. Someone does for sure, but it's not your job to follow that, communicate on that.
