I worked at 3 companies between 2014-2020. My goal going in was to solve the set of problems I was hired to solve by the then new manager and “put myself out of job”.

Today working in a consulting department, I refuse to take on any work that may look like “staff augmentation”. I just do project based implementations with a definition of done and set aside time for training the customer.

Be the best at two things, and train someone to do the less rewarding thing while you learn a new thing.
