SDE Job role
Hi everyone, I am currently working as SDE. I do my work very well and i receive accolades from manager and my team members as well. But whenever i discuss my growth ideas with manager, i always receive same feedback i.e. i need to know about the other peoples are working on which task and i need to provide feedback in design discussion call. I am bit confused. I know on very high level about the task but not very much context. And i always provides my pov in design discussion if i am aware of that particular thing. My of our team member's work doesn't overlap with each other. In that case for me it is very hard to share my pov as i don't have more context. Any suggestions how can i overcome two above problems. Thanks all

What is your level? Senior engineers get automatically added in design discussions and provide feedback where they feel something can be improved. If you are junior/mid level engineer, you are not expected to know all the things but you can strive to understand. Btw manager can give any bullshit reason if they don’t have capacity / don’t want to promote.

Yup, then try to join the discussions that are relevant and try to ask questions if you don’t understand something from a high level perspective also. This will show your interest and within your team and work domain you can try to actively participate a little bit more. I think this is what the feedback means. Just showing out yourself there matters in corporate. That is it.
