Expectation: Once I become a senior, I will have more time to relax.
Reality: It’s fine, I’ll finish the work on Saturday.
The expectation is actually true in my personal experience. The more I know (and I know I don’t know tons of stuff) the more free time I have during working hours. It’s not that I’m solving NP problems or hard distributed systems problems or migrating TBs of data without downtime; i’m doing more complex stuff than when I was a junior, but all in all, I can control it and hence the relaxing time I have nowadays (compared to the hectic times when I was a junior)
