You should really take an opportunity to give yourself a bar rather than to follow someone else's, that's what I know.

C0D4681954yA task - I give estimate.
A project - there's a soft deadline, aka: optimistic management assumptions based on fuck knows what.
but for the tasks within, they are still mine to estimate.
But then I don't have a Senior Dev to fight with - I'm the Dev. -
appmaker3954y@C0D4 What if your manager (formerly a senior developer) says they know how long the task takes and wants you to do it in their stated timeline?

C0D4681954y@appmaker they can have an opinion on what's a suitable time frame, something that's obviously going to take a couple of days vs a week or two is easy to identify, but it's still a rough idea, and sure they are entitled to question any excess time spent on a task, sometimes problems reveal themselves on the journey that wasn't accounted for, but actually being set fixed timelines has never been an issue from a "senior" in my career, mostly it's been management trying to push projects out way to early despite the evidence that something is going to take at best 6+ weeks and they want it in 1.

Never. It takes as long as it takes and if he trusts the team he should be happy with that.

When you get work assigned to you. Are you asked for how long it will take you to complete the work or does your manager give you a deadline to complete the work? Note: Manager was a senior developer but now a manager so he states he knows how long it might take and sets deadlines.
