I just got a Jr dev job about 3 weeks ago and I haven’t written a single line of code. It’s all been meetings and other shit. I’m kind of ok with that. Lol
I think this is something a lot of people posting here don’t get. You can be a programmer, make apps or games in your spare time, set your own goals and be your own boss, and that’s great. Suddenly you get a “normal” job programming and you have you deal with customer requirements, business nonsense, and working as part of a team; that’s being a software engineer. One isn’t superior to the other, they are just different beasts.
Absolutely. There is very little programming involved in a normal job most of the year. I actually knew that before getting in. I have friends on the same team that have been there before me and they explained things beforehand. I have so many meetings and business stuff daily. We also reach out to users to help them fix issues on their machines, too.

I love planning.
