An AE I manage is job hunting. If it’s for a truly great role, I’m fully supportive, but I don’t know think they’re aware of the learning opportunities available internally. How can I keep them happy?

How did you find out? Maybe they are thinking they are no opps. available. Maybe they want more money.

IDK - I have so many questions...: As a fellow AS, I’d imagine you know once they’ve started looking, it’s an up-hill battle for you to keep them (duh!).

Be thankful you’re not an AD (or higher)... :)

Depending on the relationship you’ve built, you might be able to keep them + keep them happy.

However; I’m assuming since you’re an AS you’ve worked in this biz long enough to know that someone who’s looking is someone who’s out.

Net: Take this as a learning opportunity to find a way to get further upstream on your direct report’s career aspirations. Doesn’t mean you’ll be able to help them get there, but it would help you mitigate departures nonetheless, IMHO.

We’ve talked about it informally so I have an idea of how they’d like to grow, and there’s opportunity for that to happen. But when it comes to finances and performance reviews, formally, that’s AD in charge.. so actually I do wish I had that pull, AS1.

And tbh, when I was a senior AE and lower, doing work that bored me in 4-6 months.. I readily left for more trust, autonomy and money. AE has that trust and autonomy, but it’s not difficult to find a place willing to give more $$$

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
