I am the most senior engineering IC by position and years of experience at my current company in a 100+ person engineering group. The only problems I deal with are non technical and organisational in nature, despite on paper being expected to code 30 percent of the time.
Sound advice - currently going down the path of try to make the role better. It will however be a long journey, so need to work out whether I am sufficiently committed to the path. Also need to work out what the ejection criteria are, regardless of my commitment or not.
