How DevRel looks
- Travel
- Parties
- Conferences
- Fun
My 5years in DevRel
- 55-80 hour weeks without exception, by choice
- Precious time away from loved ones
- Imposter syndrome learning & distilling complex technologies built by people smarter than you
- Long cramped flights

If you can get your job done in five hours do it. I know people that work 20 hours a week and are successful and happy. This is just my personal experience.
also, when you’re traveling your work load usually does not get any lighter. Between flights, transportation, preparing

talks, and meeting with people, you still have meetings, deadlines, communication, all of the things that you normally do but with about 20% of the time.
Overall, it’s still fulfilling work and I am a happy person. But I think it’s worth sharing a perspective of what this role

actually looks like in practice, or at least for me.

also I said it before and I'll say it again - no matter what we do in software, be it engineering or devrel, we are lucky as fuck to get paid the amount we do for the work we do compared to most jobs especially retail, manual labor, restaurants, etc..
