First time poster and any advice would be amazing. I have been the TSE path for 5 yrs and rose to be Principal SME Analytics (3 YOE). The past 2 yrs, my dpt. has been plagued with under-performers, lack of group synergy, resurfacing product/arch. issues, and the fact there is no more vertical movement to be had. All of these things together make me feel trapped in my position and I dont really know what to do. For the first time in my career, I dont know my next career role/corp. What do I do?

Sounds like it’s time for a break. If you have some PTO, I’d start there. When you get back, maybe consider looking for new jobs or talking with some other teams to see if there’s a better fit for you elsewhere. It sounds like your dept is not the place to be.

Manager 1, I certainly agree with Adobe 1 on the PTO and will definitely consider taking a moment to evaluate. I believe my fear is two-fold.

1. I'm at the first point in my career where I don't know what is the next role/position to challenge myself with. Certainly I have some obstacles at my current role, but they are more of a nuisance rather than a goal to overcome. I want to have a sense of progression again rather than feeling stagnant.
2. I have been on and off this fence of Should I leave the dept. or company altogether? for about 6 months now. Comfort/job security certainly play a role in swinging back and forth on the topic of leaving.

I'd recommend talking to a mentor (even paid one) before jumping ship. Is there a chance of salvaging the team or bringing these issues to the attention of higherups to accomplish some real change? If they have no interest in doing so, then by all means start scoping out other opportunities

Engineer 1, eh there have been very very loose talks of revitalization, but I am skeptical. Hopeful, but skeptical (i.e. actual accomplishing that task, everyone buying in, timeline, etc.) Ironically, I have spoken to one of my friends, who is a higherup, and he agrees with the same narrative that I have originally presented, but agreeing and facilitating change are two different animals. If I did choose to leave, I am nervous about being pigeonholed into doing Sales Support again. If I do leave, I want it to be away from that type of work altogether.
