   I\u2019m the last remaining support specialist on a really old, not actively maintained, but still lucrative SAAS product. I\u2019m stuck. As a front end engineer I want to work on other projects within my organisation to gain contemporary framework skills, but nobody can backfill my workload. I know option A is \u201cquit your job\u201d but what other options do I have?

   I started my journey as an engineering manager at a startup. Over my stint, the company grew and so did the engineering team. Overall I received good feedback from the engineers but the founders didn\u2019t recognize the value of this role and I felt that I wasn\u2019t getting the required mentorship there to grow further. I ended up quitting. It\u2019s been challenging to find another manager role. I get good feedback from the interviews but haven\u2019t received an offer yet. I still am a good backend engineer but that is not what I want to keep pursuing. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do to bag one of these interviews as I don\u2019t get that feedback from the panel. I don\u2019t miss any of the podcasts and do enjoy the show.
