If you're not interested and it doesn't align with your passions, be honest. Let the partner know that you don't think you're the right fit for the position and it doesn't align with your strengths and goals, Yada yada yada...

D1, you're on an internal project too?

Which project, am on one myself

Also, internal in what capacity? If it's directly supporting a NA/Global leader, it's worth it for the long term network and exposure you'll get if you stay with the firm. If it's some bullshit useless internal wannabe project, stay away like the plague.

Thanks fam, really grateful for the advice. @P1, what city are you in and are you trying to get off the project?

Send them my way! I'd love to take on an internal project! On an actual serious note, if the work isn't something you find interesting, then tell the partner you don't feel you are a fit, it sounds great. It you don't see how it aligns with your career goals, etc. most partners actually appreciate that honest and self career-direction.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I havenโ€™t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that Iโ€™m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

I'm an older non-traditional engineer. My current job was an over the phone interview. I was raised with a suit in mind for interviews. What should I wear? Jeans and a polo? Khakis and a button down? I read that anything beyond dockers and a button down is a negative. Thoughts?

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
