Had a really rough few weeks, just started a new project while in quarantine and it’s a crazy disorganized one with many late nights. I don’t feel like I’m meeting the team’s expectations even though I am trying my hardest. I’ve had discussions with leadership who have said “we hear you” but nothing has changed. I don’t have time to look for a different job or to interview. I live alone and I just don’t see a way out of this.

Don’t be afraid to stand your ground and lose your job from it. You’ll feel much better that you stood up for yourself and have grown. If they respect your wishes, even better

Lol... hard to feel good when you're broke and homeless. Mazlows hierarchy.

Reach out to your friends for a talk or venting session. Leadership/management will never step in when you always delivered on time. That's the sad part about corporate culture - bottom line and office politic.

Have you asked for actionable items you can work on delivering?
I was in your same shoes a month ago and my lead came to talk to me about it and gave me clear metrics. I’ve been working on those. So don’t be hard on yourself- we all go through these funks.

Total 2yoe in academics & 3.5 yoe in corporate (1yoe post PhD). Initially i compromised with a below 20lpa salary to enter Big4 and hometown and also to experiment if i can cope or not. But now I am confident of my estimation, leading & client handling capability. Need atleast 50% hike & possible onsite opportunity. Any lead plz.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

I have cleared the interview at TCS for java developer role. My current ctc is 4.5 lpa with 5+ years of experience. I started my career in non tech profile then switched to technical roles in the same company hence my package is too low.

Thoughts on this? Hired for a week of freelance, we kill it, client loves our work, then...they cut week short by a day. Isn’t that bad form? We could have worked someplace else for the full week.
