I’ve been a SWE for a few years now and I always feel stressed out whenever I have to work on a new task. I don’t mind learning new languages or frameworks but coding at work is stressful because of deadlines and sprints.
Perhaps SWE is not for me? However, I feel accomplished every time I’m able to finish a task.
My SO is also a SWE but doesn’t get stressed like me and can always figure out the solutions right away which makes me think that I’m not cut out for this.
Do you feel stressed as well? Is this feeling normal? If not, what jobs should I look into? Pm?

It’s killing the fun out of work and just drains the energy out of me. Maybe this industry is not for weak minded folks like me. Would have left it for less stressful jobs if not for the money
I do talk about amount of efforts, blockers and dependencies during planning and Scrum. It takes load off of me. Look deep into what you have been doing and may be commit to less work when unsure.
