Wow thanks for doing this!
What do you miss the most about being a junior person?
What do you enjoy the most about being so senior?
As a junior person, I miss chit chatting with my peers without thinking much. Because as a leader, I need to talk less and listen more.
As a leader I enjoy the visibility at work at any given point of time. Be it product direction, organisation changes etc. helps me to course correct my team.
Seriously tell me the does software industry has any runway left for innovation or its going to be SaaS only? I find today's technology extremely overhyped, no one wants to see what use case one can provide before pouring tons of money
It depends on which industry and how your leadership is open for innovation,
Btw imho money and innovation has no connection.
I changed around 11 companies so far, never sticked with a company for more than 1.5 years, get bored and at the same time I create the value propositions needed, so that my presence/absence makes a huge difference and always make sure I am learning something new(not through work)

My first idea on patent, when I explained to seniors, they laughed at it and eventually I filed it when I joined their competitors.

Do you feel politics happen at the senior level role. How do you set urself on a path to leadership roles?
I stay away from politics, and unless it impacts me. I try to solve the issue rather creating my own maze of political game.
I generally follow agree to disagree in most of scenarios and solve problems in very objective and actionable manner
