I am an year experienced working in data field. I recently switched to another company where my mentor is has a Chinese English accent and that is very difficult to understand. Due to which it takes me a lot of time to dig around about things that he says and finish the task. It might come of as I don't finish the task in given time span. Can anyone relate with my situation and suggest on how to get out of this? P.S. there is nobody else in the data team to go for help other than him.

See you try to understand more what he says dont say yes on everything he says ask questions, if you don't understand ask repeatedly, but dont say that you understood what to do, since it'll be an issue in long run, there is communication issue but they'll think you have some issue in following up with tasks, so better communicate well and tell them when you are not clear with the deliverables presented.

Thank you for your advice. I try my best at it and I'm in a position to complete my task because I ask him many times. My only concern is that I hope he doesn't think I'm stupid for asking him to repeat things numerous times.

Be polite and ask him to repeat, multiple times if necessary and even ask him to write it down in case nothing else works. Messing things up if you didn't get what he said is worse than you being polite and telling him you have a hard time understanding his accent. Over time, you will come to understand his accent better

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.
