I work as a software engineer (Backend) at a startup ( valued over $200m).
Most of my revolves around designing and building applications using python based frameworks (Django, flask, fast api).
Integrating AI models to the backend, not so exciting but yeah I do.
Also, deploying them in Google cloud and setting up the cloud infrastructure.
Occasionally I do write load testing scripts using Gatling.
At times I feel like I'm not doing any deep tech work and I'm bored. Most of the days I have zero motivation to do anything.
How's the life of people doing deep tech at work?
What am I missing? What should I focus on?
I wonder if I'm underpaid at times (18 lpa) (exp - 4yrs).
How should I move forward with regards to my career?
