My boss is making me work on a "senior full-stack" contract he took (i am a junior frontend developer). Of course, they aren't supposed to know he isn't the one working, and I can't really talk in meetings, so I have to listen while texting him responses. What's more, he wants me to preempt what someone might say so I can give responses faster for his conversation to flow. Bruh.
I'm supposed to do this without exposing that I'm not a senior developer.
It's been 4 months, and I've been able to do the work so far, but I am severely burnt out.
I wake up every day hoping they at least find out he's not currently in the same continent as the company as he's required to be.
Never would have thought my 2nd year in tech would be like this.
Exp points, I guess.

    In outsourcing rented out for a lot of stuff i wasn't able to. You get two days upfront a book slammed on your table "good luck" :P Yeah, it was in the book era.

    Sorry to hear OP. Good experience yeah but you're technically complicit in committing fraud as I understand it giving your boss is lying about a service they've paying for.

    Id leave asap and pray noone finds out and hunts you down

    Good luck out there and stay good x you'll find your place

    'CPUs have transient execution, why can't you?' will probably be the boss' reply when told that guesswork in meetings can't be done reliably.

    Also, we had Meltdown && Spectre, so...
