I was promised for a good role on a new project but just learned the role is much below my expectation, how do I take it with partner and director in a polite way?

Exactly what BA said, underwhelming role = band with. Take the opportunity to load up on proposals while staying billable. Looks excellent at CRTs when someone with high utilization is very involved with BD work. Learned this lesson myself recently.

In my limited experience this is bound to happen. I think the best way to deal with such situations is have the conversation with partner and director after you finish the project and hit it out of the park. Your side of the story will have more gravity that way and will be in a better position to dictate how future engagements go about

Glad to see this happens everywhere

Don’t be polite, be direct. Don’t be a jerk either.

Hi Fishes I am in a complex situation, please help me out..

I got an offer with TCS and initially selected joining date as Jan 2.. but current org released me in 1 month instead of 3 months.. I asked TCS HR and others for early Onboarding but they didn't respond well..

After that I got one offer and joined immediately. But now I don't like to work here as I have to go to office all 5 days mandatorily, also role is slightly new to me.

How can join in TCS on the selected date ?
Any possibility?

Hey guys, I have the first short 15-minutes call with a product guy from Hugging Face today wherein he is likely going to take a guess at what roles I could be suitable for. I had applied for Post-Sale Machine Learning solutions Engineer. Is there anyone who’s gone through the process for a similar role at similar organisations or best case scenario would be if anyone has gone through the process with HF.
I have been working for a year and am doubtful if I’m mature enough for the role. Help lol
