Yeah, it's a good idea. But sometimes, a developer's job is just a conveyor belt of features, making it hard to find a mentor who can help.

Thanks for the great advice. I have to think about it. It feels that the tasks associated with gathering user requirements are performed by the manager, and tasks related to system design are performed by team lead who doesn't like to share them. But got the idea.

Thanks for the reply. I don't bias against backend development. Moreover, I am considering this option as one of the best. I haven't listed it because it seemed to me that already too many options on the list.

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, I am considering backend development too and Golang in my top shortlist.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It helped a lot.

"even the most growth-oriented, forward-thinking startups seem to forget that developers can learn new skills and will tend to strongly prefer that the thing they hired you for is what you keep doing" - it feels so true.

I'll keep in mind your advice about the company when starting to find my next job.
