Which video web conferencing tool do you prefer for collaborative work?

    We're on Teams, but still use Zoom for all our meetings. I like it a lot more than Teams' version, so I'm glad management decided to keep it. I don't think there's anything special about it; it's just what I'm accustomed to at this point.

    Zoom seems clunky but it does have more features.

    I like Zoom, the whiteboard feature, now that I know how to use it, has been great. Also sharing screen isn't a hassle. Worked with somebody on google meets before, and did not like it. However I do get biased to the programs I use more. Get so used to everything in one something else is a hassle to learn the slight differences.

It took me a long time to say it out loud, but I regret choosing this path. The pay is stable, but the constant pressure and lack of fulfillment are leaving me feeling like I'm ready to exit. I’m actually thinking about a total career change later in life. Has anyone successfully walked away from engineering after a decade plus?

If you could permanently eliminate one workplace meeting from your calendar, which type would it be and why? I’d probably choose status meetings where everyone simply reads updates that could have been sent in an email. Curious what everyone else would remove.

I've been stuck in a pure maintenance cycle for six months, and I'm starting to feel like a script-runner instead of an engineer. I'm trying to move into a senior-level job, and I worry about stagnating, but I'm not sure what to do. Is this a common issue with engineers who hope to level up?

I'm a junior engineer, but I inherited a project mid-construction because the designer left. I wasn't around for the early phases, but now I’m running the site meetings. I'm stressed about the technical gap and being asked questions I don't know the answers to. I don't want to appear clueless in front of the clients, even though I am. Is it okay to say that I don't know, but I will get back to them? Or does that look unprofessional?

Do you think engineers spend enough time thinking about the user experience of internal tools? I’ve seen teams tolerate painful internal systems that they’d never ship to customers.
