Hey everyone, I recently started a new role and didn’t pass my probation due to mutually it not being the right fit. What are some good questions to ask at the interview stage to find out about team structure and processes? So I can get a whiff beforehand of what I’ll be getting myself into?

Honestly, I wouldn’t overthink it. I got canned from my first job in 3 months, and as much as it hurt my ego at the time, it was the best thing that could have happened. Terrible place and a terrible manager, but it clearly didn’t hold me back.

Keep your head up and focus on the future. Anyone who asks you about your 5 year plan when you’re just starting out (I’m making an assumption based on your title, apologies if it’s incorrect) is a fool because you shouldn’t know that yet. You’re learning and exploring, and sometimes it means bouncing around.

All that said, a few questions to consider in your next chapter…

Why is this particular role open?
What does success look like from your ideal candidate?
What is the growth path for me from here?
Will I be working on one or multiple accounts at this level?

Good luck, happy to chat in DMs if helpful.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
