It’s not even a senior thing. You become the family/friend IT guy and the requests don’t always relate to what your experience is in. If it has a cable , you’re expected to know about it now (and fix it for free or cheap)
I’ve surprisingly always had the opposite experience. I went from generic IT guy to datacenter engineer and no one in my personal life asks me for anything lol.
