I’ve only been in this role for 6 months and my team already considers me a “seasoned” team member. Is this a red flag or is that the norm in industry? 2 people have left since joining

How's that relevant? What's more important is how you're doing at the job, how you feel about the progress that you've made so far, the expectations that the team has for you, how you get along with your direct reports and those above you, etc.. People come and go all the time, and 2 people leaving doesn't mean much if it's 2 out of 500 people

Only a red flag if there were only three team members. I would take it as a compliment that they think you are a valued contributor instead of a trainee.

You probably should give a little more context.

Is this being said to express that they think you are exceeding their expectations, or is it being said to convey that going forward they expect that you should have already learned and mastered most of your job responsibilities and you are getting pushed from the “nest”.

In the former, consider why you feel otherwise or that it is a red flag. Is it a bit of imposter syndrome, or do you have gaps in your knowledge that you should work on improving?

If it is the latter, buckle up! That is usually followed by an increasing attitude of you should know this by now, I have my own work to do.

It’s both.

I'm not getting why coworkers accepting you and thinking you're competent could be considered a red flag. If you think they're insincere, that might be concerning. Or if they say you're so seasoned you should do everyone's work, that would be very problematic. But it sounds like things are going fine.

Not an obvious red flag, but depends a lot on what else is going on. Two people leaving isn’t huge, depending on the reasons though. Also 6 months in can be enough to be considered out of the new territory, but then that also depends on what is expected out of you there too.

Don’t take it too serious lol I would still continue to chill out and not stress yourself out. If you don’t know something, just say don’t know.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
