If your team is looking to add another analyst to “take on workload” but your own workload has been minimal, is this writing on the wall for you to find exit ops? I’ve been a good performer, but since Covid started, I’ve had barely any work to do - even including the self starting projects I’ve worked on. This is in industry btw. Thx 🐠

Can still happen there. Except it’s more likely that it’ll result in layoff than you finding a new project.

Would be beneficial to bring this up and have them let you know if your new responsibilities—it’s not always a lay-off. Could be they are moving you into a more supervisory role.

Ask your boss(es), and others adjacent to your work. Don't assume anything bad yet. In many companies, bosses get paid based on how many people work for them, so they are incentivized to grow their team regardless of how much work there is. Or maybe there is a big project coming up soon you don't know about, and they are staffing up early instead of waiting until everyone is burned out to hire more people. Maybe some new work requires special skills or a license of some sort. Plenty of possibilities that don't yet mean anything bad for you.

Try to be honest with yourself about whether you’re being perceived as a good performer. Are you sure nothing happened that made you become someone considered to be a poor performer?

Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.
