Is it too early to leave my current company? I’ve been at my current job since August 2022. Overall I like the team and job. However, I currently have to check on a project at 11PM at night and then again around 6:30 AM in the morning to make sure it gets to the client on time. Having done this for the past 8 months and with my lease expiring. I’m starting to think of applying to new roles as their is currently no telling when I’m being moved off of this. Is it too soon to apply?

Definitely not too early to leave. As long as you’re not consistently switching jobs every year, you’re good. You gotta do what’s best for you

Will definitely be following up with you!

I jumped from my first job at 8months. Who cares.

That sounds terrible. Sorry OP. Looks like they’re milking you. Has nobody offered to help cover/lighten that load? Have you vocalized this? People will keep loading stuff on your plate until you advocate for yourself. If they think you have no problem with it then they don’t think twice. Just something to consider before jumping. The hiring market is very slow right now. Think carefully and good luck

There’s been talk of moving it off of me but like you said the hiring market is slow right now and generally they make someone new do this so someone to take over this project hasn’t come into our team yet.

I’d wait to hit a year or ideally 1.5 years if you want employers to count your experience

Don’t wait. If the rest of your resume is consistent, this little blip won’t affect you too much. That has been my personal experience.

May i ask where you work at now? Im trying to look for entry level opportunities rn

I’m at Blackrock currently. Great culture. Generally don’t mind working late l as I’ve gotten on some pretty cool projects from volunteering for things. But the daily grind of not getting a ton of sleep and having to work on this every evening has been slowly killing me.

Start looking now so you land at a position in a few months. Recruiting is a long process.

It seems like every time I log into LinkedIn the people who are “starting new positions” are people who already had jobs in the first place. I’m honestly ready to just give up. Unemployed for 8 months bc of covid layoff. Like what’s the point when companies see me as less valuable than those that already have jobs. How do you guys hold up? I understand life isn’t fair, but there just seems to be no end to this.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives?

Is this just how it is?

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle?

If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
