For those at companies and on teams that are pushing more social events and company trips, are you attending those? With WFH being a new standard ish, I’m worried my lack of attendance at these networking/company events will impact my career growth. Would you say this is true?

I kind of feel like yes, if you don't attend you will have a harder time staying at the forefront of the minds of leadership and your peers.

Being present at social events and team on-sites is definitely important to building goodwill with peers and leaders alike. I used to hate attending such events, but with practice you get better at them. I’m actually enjoying going to firm social events now!

I tend to think that yes, this could affect (not heavily) your career progression. Becoming a manager and a leader it's also about your ability to interact with peers and team members and create a trusted relationship with them. Not saying it's only about that, but to me it's an important factor to consider when thinking of a good leader.

It may not have significant impact on career growth at early stages, but you can be certain the c-suite 25 years from now is filled with the people who built the best in person / hybrid connections.

Agreed

I feel the same. So, I attend these events to improve my network

Hi Fishes,

I am B.tech graduate and currently working in BPO sector in Accenture. I am looking to switch to an IT profile but having zero experience in IT sector. Please suggest how can I switch.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Does anyone know anybody coming from the Merit America IT Support program that have been successful in their roles? This is a career change for me and I'm worried that employers won't be patient while I learn or that IT teams will be overloaded and I won't have a proper mentor.
