I'm only about 8 years into my career and if there is one thing I've come to realise, it's that a good chunk of deadlines are arbitrary dates plucked out of thin air.
We as engineers are horrible at guessing how long something things. I've yet to meet anyone who has been able to accurately guess how long a certain task takes. Rightly so, because engineering wouldn't be engineering if all the problems were already solved.
If you're in a workplace that imposes arbitrary dates on you, you should probably look elsewhere. There are better companies out there.
