If you are from WITCH or any IT company then this strategy will make you successful in life...
This advice was given to me by someone who has worked for 20+ years in IT.
"The reward for work done is always more work."
So always manage you time properly here. If you keep working hard then you will be exploited by your manager. He will always take credit for your work. You will do the work but it will be presented by a dumb senior to the client.
So your strategy should be: Always complete your work on the weekend. Then every day you need to reveal work done slowly. Monday to Friday. This way you will chill during the entire week. People will think you do work but in reality you are coasting and chilling.
Use this time to upskill and interview for other companies. Then get out of IT and go to a Product company.

OP is talking about working weekends until you get out of WITCH. To make it happen, you'll have to go all in

Im in witch, and it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Working weekends just to coast Monday to Friday sounds like a terrible idea. I can't even have fun Monday to Friday as I have to be online lol.

I don’t understand why seniors in all companies are always dumb. So you are also going to be a dumb senior one day 😜

I don't think so, this works for every project . For support and operations project and scheduled changes, one has to perform during the scheduled timings only.
Best suits for develop only projects

That 20+years person is still a junior? You can certainly work smart by balancing your time. Product companies are certainly better but there are mediocre teams within product companies too.
Yes work well done will get you more work. What did you expect then? You do one thing great and then sit idle in success? When you do an exemplary job you get more challenging work so that you can grow and build skills. And use the skills and achievements to showcase your potential to future hiring managers.
If you get stuck in the job slogging then it's a problem. If you are learning, being challenged, and growing in roles then it is what you must aim for.
Overall reward for the job and the challenges you face at job is that the increase in socioeconomic status, safe retirement, building wealth, being able to afford travels and other small perks in life.

You also monitor your manager's online status and once he goes offline even for a second call him.
