Yes very common. Just try to hang in a little bit longer. Change and transition is sometimes hard.

The first 3 months are the most difficult. You're still getting to know the team and product and learning the ropes. Reach out to a colleague or manager to start a dialogue if there are changes you have in mind.

It’s not an immediate get out signals but I usually find the first few months super exciting because you’re excited about the company and product and seeing how things work. Sounds like there’s huge opportunities for improvements there so it’s worth bringing those up to your manager.

It comes in waves for me. Have you tried to do a gap analysis of what isn't there for you right now? You might be able to put a finger on it and fix.

I feel the same. Not sure whether I should be trying to hang in there or start looking.

Hang in there! Is there anything you have in mind that could helo make your work more engaging? Bring it up with someone above you. Maybe you should take up on more challenging projects if you think you're up for it.

Hi Fishes, I am a Talend ETL developer with 2.2 yrs of exp at TCS. But I have not learned that much in the current project I am in, it's all migration and excels now😅. So, now I want to shift to a product based startup or mid level company in React JS technology for which I have already started preparation separately. Also thinking of giving resignation as my current project is affecting my mental state. Please give me insights on this as to how I should proceed and how to prepare.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I have been trying to escape consulting for over 2 years now, but havent been able go convert the right role for me. Ive had a plethora of interviews lately. I hope that I can land something soon. My big 4 experience has been so depressing, that whenever I land an offer letter, I will most likely break down crying. I consistently dream of that day. I feel like i have been in a corporate prison. Can anybody relate?
