Anyone move to a role (in industry) that was not aligned to expectations? If so, what did you do (talk to mgr, HR, look for new roles/company)? It’s impacting my mental health to the point I don’t think I can stay a year. I likely can also get a 50k+ pay bump for my YOE at other firms (industry or consulting)

For context I went from T2 strat consulting (9 yrs) to BizOps role at Meta. Appreciate your help!

What do you dislike about the role? I left a job in 4 weeks because they flat lied about the role and work. Found a new role pretty quickly.

I talked to my career counselor in the metaverse, they recommended me buy some NFts to make myself my feel better. I followed his advice not knowing what an nft was…now they’re worth millions. I retired after that.

Seriously though — just look for another job, market is so not recruiters won’t give a damn about your short stay.

Btw what’s wrong with Meta biz ops? Seems to be a trend of people being dissatisfied exiting consulting into that/product strategy roles there.

Think it depends on what specifically isn’t aligned - is it the day to day? Then talk to your manager and see if there’s something that can be done / whether this really is the best fit. Can you give us a little more context on what isn’t working?

Hello. I have been offered a job opportunity as SME (subject matter expert), although I have previous experience in account coordination, training, HR, etc. I had never heard of that professional category, does someone have experience in that position to give me a little more information on what tools can help you to be a good SME.

Thanks
