Microsoft Received some feedback yesterday that I’m “Too smart for the role and they feared that I’d get bored and leave quickly. “ It’s honestly the most confused I’ve ever left a call. Does anyone know what this means? I thought it was a compliment initially but in retrospect it just doesn’t seem very genuine. Have y’all had anyone hit you with this one?

Prepare to feel invisible. In town government, your work has immediate impact—at the state level, you’re a cog in a machine that moves sloooow. Unless you're in leadership, it’s easy to get lost.
I made that shift and love it. I was looking for more of a challenge and found it at the state level. Yes everything is bigger but that also invites more variety in my work and provides more opportunities outside of my immediate position. I'm sure not always the case, but in my experience my coworkers are on a different level- my supervisor provides minimal oversight because we are trusted professionals and it's refreshing to work with those that don't abuse that trust. There's less workplace pettiness and though we have a huge workload with (and if I'm being honest) not enough resources- there is much more support and understanding within the organization to complete that work and you're not really "on your own". It makes work-life balance realistic and even with a huge workload I can sleep at night knowing I have the support. I'd say scope out state workers in the area you want to get into and see what their experience is- and at this point in time and federal funding getting pulled, get an idea if they feel secure in their jobs!
