Promotion trap Memes

THE CAREER EVOLUTION NOBODY WARNED YOU ABOUT! 😱 Senior developer surrounded by cool IDEs and Git? LIVING THE DREAM with IntelliJ, VS Code, and Sublime! Look at that SMILE! That's the face of someone who hasn't seen a spreadsheet in YEARS! Then you get promoted to Principal and BOOM! Your life is now an endless hellscape of Jira, Excel, and Microsoft Teams meetings! That's not a frown—that's the facial expression of someone who hasn't written actual code since Obama was president! 💀 They never tell you the truth in those career progression meetings: more money = less code, more meetings. The ultimate tech career betrayal!
