How do you deal with a senior that’s never happy with your work? They critique me as a person as they edit my work & it’s so bad I have my two weeks notice in my drafts. Is this possibly to be remedied, or should I just quit?

Can you talk to your manager/mentor and get switched to another project with a different senior? If you like your job and are getting paid well enough, I would try to stick around, voice your concerns, and find a new team before jumping ship.

Thank you 🙂

Easier said than done, but don’t take their criticism personally (even when it is personal). It’s a constant learning experience. Hear their critiques (even if you don’t agree with them) and remediate. Long term, talk to you manager that your looking for some different opportunities/exposure

How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy.

I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?
