In my opinion having had multiple technical job roles (car stereo/alarm installer, website builder, military officer, CEO, CTO etc…) this is always the job.

The job is *always* to make the organization more effective and efficient full stop. Your role in that is what you choose and negotiate with your team throughout your life; boundaries change pre/during/post employment.

When you join a company you usually (not always) have a niche role, to fill in a gap that is preventing effective organizational execution.

If you’re mentally flexible to understand that your narrow focus is not the actual output, that is a temporal means to an output, then you transform how you view the concept of work and relationships
