Hi All

Request your suggestions.

YOE : 4 Year
Role : Data Engineer

I have two offers in hand one from Tetadata and other from Accenture.

Teradata : 10.5 Fix
Accenture : 11 Fix + 21% Variable + 60K joining Bonus

Which one is the best suitable for my experience.

Deciding factor :
1. WLB
2. Compensation
3. Yearly Increment
4. Promotion

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

What is the hike percentage for promotion in Qualcomm India?

Applying to roles within the same federal agency. I know you need one year within the probationary period, but can I apply to a higher GS level? For example, if I'm GS 9, receive a promotion to GS 11 at the end of probation, would i be able to apply to GS 13 roles if I'm qualified? Tried researching this for hours but only found info on applying to other agencies.

Is there a reason why my company would need to file perm for me if I'm on L1A? I started with L1B in the US and then switched to L1A after promotion to manager.

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.

What do you do to fight burnout? Got a raise yesterday and will get another in September, for dealing with a lot of stuff, but I can't shake the burnout.

Being a data engineer can be so defeating. Put together a pipeline for a client I was really proud of, had to overcome a lot of challenges due to the clients dated tech stack.

Just for a non technical manager to be like “why did it take so long” 😒

If you could ask for anything at your firm what would you ask for? (Something realistic but a stretch)

What do you do when when someone at the top of your firm says something bigoted and you don’t call them out immediately?

Does anyone have experience going from industry to public? I have 4 years of experience and I’m waiting on my last CPA score. Everytime I look at job postings, they seem to require public experience

Silly question but, how did you make close friends when you first moved to Miami? Feeling like a fish out of water, from Texas.

Who / what do you list as your contingent beneficiary when your spouse is your primary, you don’t have children, and you don’t have anyone in your family you trust with your finances if something were to happen?

I was hired a few months ago by D to do data science. I am not doing data science currently, is there a way I can switch roles internally? Should I talk to my coach? Or should I just start looking for a new job. I’m starting to feel that the field is so hot rn my small stint at D won’t be a big deal to other firms.

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal. But now, I was living in the fool's paradise when I am told to leave with no job offers in hand, car and home loan, dependent parents, expecting jobless spouse with a 3-year old kid.

I’m a 4th year and I’ve never billed contemporaneously for even a one full week. I guess I’d just rather have one day of torture recording all my hours at the end of the month than that extra little torture daily. I’m wondering how common or rare this is in BigLaw. Thoughts?

Hi Fishes.

Could anyone please share review on hiring, wlb and firing of Birlasoft? Needed.

What are some locations with the highest demands for engineers?

People who work in any engineering capacity are usually very hardworking but it's not just because we have to be, it's also that we find this stuff really fascinating, kind of like a book you can't put down

are there any engineering fields that you can get an online degree in?

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

Curious about what kind of hobbies other engineers have, personally I love knitting in my free time

I'm feeling overwhelmed by my workload, but I don't want to ask for help because I fear looking like I'm unqualified to do the job. What should I do?

I used to be so devoted to my academics that I kind of forgot to make some close friends. How do you reignite your social life after college?

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

What you didn't know about engineering...

I am a newly graduated fresher mechanical engineer working in an electro mechanical company at Dubai, My current salary is 2500 AED, I would like to know about your comments and suggestions regarding my career which could help me through my future ventures.

I don't know if anyone can answer this. But how much do most civil engineers make? There are so many conflicting reports about "overpaid consultants" and it's almost impossible to get an actual answer

Is the transition to electric vehicles going to cause a lot of changes for civil engineering? Seems like city planning might be affected

I am a mechanical engineer and people think that because I am a "mechanical" engineer like I fix cars. It is part of the career, but it is not the same thing. It happens to others that people confuse your profession, or it's only to me?

Is it worth pursuing a management position coming from being an engineer? What is your opinion on trying to go this route?

I was just asked to relocate to a different city. The move will come with a raise and promotion, but I'm conflicted. I enjoy where I live right now and I like being close to my family. Would love some advice.

My company is trying to get us all to vaccinate, even though I work remotely. Is this unconstitutional?

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

Engineers, have you ever regretted accepting a promotion to management? What should I consider before saying yes?
