Client wanted me back even though they knew I didn’t know the technology. PM tried to talk them out of it. I feel so much pressure

Technical skills can be taught, personality not so much.

If you can figure out the technology, then go for it. Already the client wants you, even though you don't know the technology, so that's good. You can either self train, ask for Accenture to train you or just wing it. These types of projects could be very rewarding.

I just feel like I have to work so much harder because I don’t want to let them down for believing in me. I don’t anticipate much sleep in the oncoming months. But at least I’ll learn a new tech. God I hope I’ll do good.

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
