How to deal with workaholic senior engineer? He tries to eat my personal time by asking me to do things even post business hours

My job is to develop applications and dashboards for my clients. My client manager is an enthusiast. He asks for my base code which usually i don't share or pbix files for the dashboards which again I don't share. When I say i don't share it means we share frontend and not the backend. Ideally, if I share the whole logic, he may find a different developer and modify my code, which might be legal but not a usual practice. Anyways my concern is that he tries to find faults with it which again is not something that he should be doing. Do you think this is right? And anything I can do to make him stop this?

I am one of the top people pay wise in my team but I don’t want to put in crazy work hours… like I earlier wanted to when I was in my 20s. Am I wrong?

Culture and pay? Also, is it WFH only?

There is this new PM who is making my life living hell. Sets up his own timeline without consulting me how much effort it will take me to execute. The requirements are fuzzy and changes while executing. I am having to delete a ton of my code because they can't keep the requirements frozen. The problem is that, I am being pulled into meetings all day and I am having to code at night just to keep up with my tasks. My life has become work and I have no time for my self-care. Haven't gone home in 6 months now. I don't know what to do now. Save me. Please. I beg of you. What should I do?

I work as a SDE1, and have been working on a new project, and I get it the deadlines and all but this senior have been pushing commits on my PR. I get it I'm a noob but they could leave comments or maybe get on call. Even yesterday this dude pushed refactor commits, it's soo irritating as I have to go through his changes and tbh refactoring is fine but he doesn't have to change everything whatever he finds better. Talked to my manager, he mentioned its fine but not everytime. Ps: yeah ik it helps me to leaen but it's damn irritating.

So thing is In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing. And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue. What would you have done .[ practical advice only] And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?

I am not comfortable with late night work but my team is mostly related to delivery boys so i am required to do night deployments and late night work which leaves me with brain headache in the morning and scattered sleep. What should i do and is the software engineering about late night work only ?

It has almost been 18 months since I have joined TCS. I was on the bench for a total of 5 months in the beginning, and finally got a project. I went to the office and my manager told me that it would take few days for document verification and security clearance. I was coming to the office daily but had nothing to do. I was getting anxious since I was just watching Youtube videos for almost a month. I wanted WFH but when I asked they said I had to come to office even if I had no work. Finally, I got a KT from someone working on the project. I came to realise that I was doing work that even a 9th class student can do. The problem? 5 people were doing this work. The problem? I was working 30 minutes a day. I had to come early to the office, login using my seniors login creds and do timepass work. I have to send an email to our point of contact at the client side that the work is done at the end of the day. I have learnt nothing here. I feel that these companies are just too inefficient. I am planning to leave ASAP now. I have learnt nothing and I am scared that I will not find another job because I have the Years of Experience but no skills. This is how IT companies destroy your career. Now I am doing DSA to get into another company.
