On my current team for 2 months in industry. I’m feeling that one of my teammates (let’s call them A) may be somewhat hostile toward me. It might be due to the overlap in our scope, but from my perspective it doesn’t seem like a major issue, especially since I’m still getting up to speed and learning everything.

Our manager is currently unavailable, and the interim manager is also new. I’m wondering if it would make sense to ask another senior teammate for advice on how to handle A.

If it’s not an issue, then just continue to ramp up. You are not in a short term engagement that requires escalations every second on scope. You may want to have a direct 1:1 with the person first and try to understand their role etc ..before seeking feedback on “handling “ them

Invite them to lunch or happy hour. Talk about personal life and how you both got where you are professionally. Then learn about them and if they are happy in their role. I find that when people are nasty it’s because they have stuff going on. I like connecting outside the office in order to fix office problems.

Great idea. Don’t share anything that they could use against you

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
