“Not a question” whatever. People around here need to hear this
I understand that the market is tough right now and it might feel like a privilege to even have a job, which may cause you to justify overworking and letting your higher-ups pile up work on you way outside of your compensation
You’re not obligated to do work outside of your scope or “prove that you’re a good engineer”. You’re not obligated to do backend or devops job if you’re in frontend and vice versa, neither are you obligated to do extra in tasks that were evaluated for half the work. If your management doesn’t directly ask you to do so, relax. They don’t silently expect you to. If they do, please consider continuing looking for a job while doing absolute minimum
The stress and health impact from pushing yourself so much because someone told you “if you won’t then some other guy will” isn’t worth it and isn’t sustainable. Not only that but if everyone remains content with this kind of management it will just reinforce companies beliefs that they can treat their employees like garbage
