Have you ever worked somewhere where your social life mattered more than your actual professional output? I was passed over for a lead role because the hiring manager said I wasn't a culture fit, even though I have the most seniority and the best metrics. In this office, culture fit seems to be code for doesn't go out drinking with the bosses until 2:00 AM on Tuesdays. It’s frustrating because I’m great at my job, I just have a life and a family outside of it.

This seems to be a lot of workplaces these days. It doesn't matter what you know or how much you can do as long as you can engage in small talk with all the right people. I'm a very shy and introverted person and I think it's harming my career, even though I'm good at what I do.

Great insights

Who goes out drinking until 2 am on Tuesdays? That's weirdly random. In fairness, there are roles where culture fit may matter, if you're meeting with clients and have to represent the company, for instance. Being passed over for a promotion because you're not into mid-week late night drinking bouts is something else entirely.

No I haven’t

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
