My manager on my current project is creating a terrible work environment for me. He is extremely hostile and it’s affecting my mental health. I’ve been on the project for almost a year now and I think I want to roll off because I’m getting tired of his behavior. How do I tell him that I want to switch projects without burning bridges? I’ve never asked to switch before

Probably best to make the professional development case - been there for a year (seems like a while), and would like the opportunity to learn different team structures / industries / types of engagements / etc. Feel like it’s hard to be upset w/ someone who contributed to your team for so long and wants a change of pace for professional growth

Burn the darn bridge. Who cares? With the way you described him, chances are he has 0 influence and even his colleagues probably despise him

If you’re staff your practice should want you to be exposed to different projects

Best way to get out is to reach out and find yourself another project, then build the case that you have learnt a lot in the past year and want to move on to learning new things in the other one. Best way is to communicate to the partner level your intentions and let them hash it out and fight for you. This way someone else is the bad guy snatching you away onto another project, you should never have to be the bad guy

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
