I’m a senior at a mid tier and been working about 70-75 hours for last 3 weeks on a SEC client. Now I roll off to a new job but the manager wants me to come back and help out the team more. Should I do it? I don’t want to fail at both jobs. Is that even reasonable to ask someone to work on both jobs?

Tell them to work it out with the manager on the team you are rolling on to. Then they can decide how they want you to allocate your time. Avoids doing two clients at once at all costs cause both teams will inevitably say their stuff if priority and that situation sucks.

Good point - also my performance will go down and I’ll be to blame for it. Initially I was thinking since we are so short staffed I was willing to help but now thinking clearly it’s not a good idea

Nope. Tell your new manager and they should get resource management involved

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation.

But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
