I been back in Android about 4 months and it\'s starting to feel normal again. I\'ve had a lot of first lately like using an interface in a real application, getting my team to move to nav-graph and kotlin, and learning a new industry I never saw myself in. Think the following would be the most helpful \"tips\" that I\'ve learned so far: - The difference between mid and sr dev is being able to articulate why the team should go with a certain plan - Make sure to talk with your team before making architecture decisions - Understand the goal of the company and the experience they want for users - Learn how to say no - Understand how to map things out. You need to understand and control the pace of the sprint so your not stressed - Take breaks doing something you love - If your in a new industry I would try to make space to learn more about it from a consumer perspective. It helps you understand what a user might expect so you can better advocate for them ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Think that\'s all a got. I\'m writing this while mentally stuck on some issues so I hope this helps you in your job at any level
