One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

That’s a lie. They can’t guarantee that. You can’t tell the client that you’ll only work four days out of the week. If you’re an SWE, you very well know that working with dev teams is based on your sprints and they will always expect to get 100% capacity.

I have contractors and consultants on my teams and I expect 40 hours of work.

Hi folks, I have been approached by the internal recruiter of the consulting company named Credera. One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

Yea I wouldnt count on that. I’m supposed to have 2 hours a week of personal development time and I only occasionally have the ability to use it.

We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

I have a recurring thought that really brings me down and I can’t seem to get past it.
Some days I feel I am pretty good at what I do (not a leadership role) but then I see leaders in my own organization that are great at what they do and I don’t believe that I could ever get to their level of competence. Then I think of all the people my age who are appear to be doing those things and wonder we what’s wrong with me.
Have any of you felt this and how have you gotten past it?
