How would you phrase to your boss that your feeling bored in your role? For context, have been in my current role for a year and have done very similar work at different companies for 5 years prior. Personally, just feel like it’s so monotonous with not a lot of time to work on other projects so I feel kind of stuck and just not learning anything. Not trying to leave the company but would like to try something else likely a different role but within the same org

I would just say that you are looking for opportunity to grow within the company and you’re wondering what other roles may be available to you. Def stress that you wanna stay at the company.

I have really enjoyed working here for the last year and want to continue developing with the firm. Given my prior experience, I have a good grasp on this role and want to find ways to expand my current role. I have some goals in mind but understand you may need some time to think more about projects or tasks I could support. Can we set up some time next week discuss what that may look like?

I would expect your manager to need some time to think this through so plan to schedule some additional time with them in a week. In the off chance the don’t, be prepared to say what you want to be more involved with and how they can develop you more. You don’t ask, you don’t get.

Frame it as growth and opportunity you’re looking for.

I can relate except there’s no place to move in a small company. Other comments are good which I could use myself.

Do you have an idea of what kinds of projects you want to work on? Or what would be less boring? I think the underlying question is whether or not there is room in your role to do different things in your current role…or if they’ll let you do something else. (After a year, not sure?)

I usually recommend the book Designing Your Life, but the authors also have a newer book, Designing Your New Work Life. Here’s an article from the authors - https://www.fastcompany.com/90473717/how-to-give-yourself-a-better-job-when-quitting-feels-like-your-only-option-and-you-cant-quit

Good morning, hope everyone is having a great week! Does anyone have any advice on breaking into an analyst role? I am currently a Senior Customer Success Manager, with a background in Operations/Process and Project Management as well. I have always enjoyed the analysis pieces of my roles and would love to expand my skills to show how qualified for a position in data analytics. Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
