How do you determine the level of difficulty of the tasks assigned to you?

The determination of task complexity usually includes several aspects:

1. Work volume — how much code needs to be written, how many components are involved.
2. Technical complexity — use of new technologies, algorithms, integrations.
3. Requirement uncertainty — how clearly the task is described, whether there is clarity in the final result.
4. Dependencies — whether it is necessary to wait for other teams or components.
5. Risks and potential problems — the likelihood of errors or difficulties.

For assessment, approaches can be used:

• Decomposition of the task into smaller sub-tasks and evaluation of each.
• Use of metrics (for example, story points in Agile).
• Consultations with colleagues to get different perspectives.

Example: if you need to implement simple CRUD functionality for one object, it is low complexity. If it requires integration with external services, processing large volumes of data, and ensuring security — the complexity is higher.

Thus, the degree of complexity is determined by a combination of technical, organizational, and business factors.
