I came from a senior search analyst position at another agency and entered here as a new manager. I’m 3 weeks into the role so far - responsibilities and direction have been unclear for the new business I’m unsure of my day-to-day duties. Looks like they’re still hiring more people for my team but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing? Is it because I’m newly hired there’s not much to do? I’m confused and no one is able to speak to me, it feels more isolating especially while remote

Lol this tends to happen more often than you would think at agencies. There’s often a lack of leadership on many teams

Whaaat? Have you asked your manager what you should be doing/what you will be doing? Have you connected with your direct reports and gotten acquainted with their deliverables?
Have you gotten to know peeps in other departments that work with yours to understand how you can add value?

I just stared here as well and can echo your sentiments. Hired for something and am doing something else.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
