Our team just started experimenting with dual-track agile (discovery + delivery), and it’s kind of a mess so far. I’m trying to give design and research space without slowing down delivery, but it’s tricky. Has anyone figured out a rhythm that works for both tracks?

No. It doesn't work.

Delivery is fast when problems are well understood and planning is strong.

Combining discovery and delivery is the only method that works. Get devs involved in product + design discussions and you'll speed up delivery. Else, you'll be hit with constant delays and most likely be building the wrong product.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
