My team is falling apart. Initially, we had 2 associates, 1 VP, and 1 Director. The director left, and now they are waiting to backfill the role. My VP thinks I’m not ready for the role, but I have an offer at another place. An associate is about to leave, and so am I! So why do I feel so bad?

Small teams create a sense of community, even if it isn’t a healthy environment. In my limited experience, I see it all the time (and have experience it myself). But there is emotional space to be ready and excited for a better opportunity, and feel sadness/guilt leaving your current team.

Congrats on the new role OP!

Don't feel bad. Its easy to feel that way when everyone jumps ship but you have to do what is best for you.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Hi everyone 👋

About a year in, management increased my pay from $14/hr to $15.25/hr during the height of covid. I am starting school soon and will be working part time. Would it be fair to ask for another raise?
