I’m running a project in an area that’s new for my firm, people think I know the most and can do it (I don’t have industry experience) but I constantly feel afraid, unsupported, like things will crash

Breathe. Take it slow. Seek out mentors in different lines of services or different teams for their expertise wherever you need validation or a little guidance. You’ll be fine. 🤗

Best advice I can think of is trust yourself and trust your ability to deal with the things you don’t know, however it’s important that you build a team around you and declare any need/handicap to your leadership, you shouldn’t be alone in this one but unless you tell them how they probably won’t jump in and help the way you need them too, best of luck!

I literally just did that. Huge project of software we never implemented b4. It's unnerving creating things from scratch but think of it as the best learning experience you will ever get, and if you and your team pull it off you'll be set for a while.

I think I’m over the “end of the world”-ness of Consulting. How every project and every deliverable is made to feel like do it die if it doesn’t get done in one day. Is this a sign that it’s time I move to industry? Going into my 5th year and all I know is consulting tbh so I don’t know where I’d go.

I don't understand why people in TCS are so scared of their managers. Just for sake of ratings and pay band people have made this organisation morally corrupt. I have been working since 2 years in TCS took transfer within 1 month of joining. Switched 3 project in 2 years worked on my conditions 9 hours means 9 hours don't give a damn whether people will like it or not. And I can proudly say that because of this reason I got targetted many times but my Personal & Professional Life is balanced.

I bought all the Thanksgiving grocery for my family and cooked the entire meal with my sister's friend while my parents and sister watched. Cleaned all the dishes while cooking, and cooked a special meal for both the dogs. Helped to decorate/clean a 6500 SQ foot house for the holidays. I felt sick to my stomach post dinner because of all the heavy food so I was lying down for 5 minutes while everyone else cleaned. My mom called me an embarrassment and threatened to slap me. Happy Thanksgiving.
