I keep getting pulled into more projects because people trust my work, but now I’m spread across 5 studies and not clearly leading any of them. It feels like I’m helpful but not building ownership anywhere. At what point do you start saying no to protect your growth?

About 3 projects ago. It's not good for you and it's not good for the projects to be spread so thin. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing your career growth and setting boundaries.

If you're being stretched too thin, you should talk to your manager about that and see if you can get your workload adjusted. It's probably not a good idea to frame it as something that's preventing your own personal growth. We tend to work in teams, and sounding resentful in that way may not be well received.

Immediately.

I have learned in our current workforce you have to kind of be protective of yourself to grow. Being nice is fine in some teams but if you’re being taken advantage of it’s not time to be helpful and nice

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)

M here. I don’t know what it is genuinely that I’m doing wrong.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.
