Recently joined a project where I’m replacing a consultant with 5+ years of experience in that team who has been let go due to some reasons. But she knew everything about everything. For me everything’s new — clients, processes, etc and expectations are sky-high from day one. Team doesn’t even like talking to me. It’s overwhelming, and the M is putting a lot of pressure. Honestly I don’t feel like working at all now due to all this. Anyone who navigated similar situations can you help?

First of all, put a RnR and transition plan. Do not sign up for everything immediately and tell the manager that the expectation to take over everything is not fair to you.
For team, better to have a direct conversation where you “request” their help to get integrated. Have formal transition sessions and have a communication channel where you can ask question.

RnR is quite a widely used term not only in ZS but across the industry.
I see 4.5 years to C, that explains… promoted too early 😂
I was a homegrown too, now I left ZS for good!

Sorry man I didn’t intend to be sarcastic or witty in my comments but the way you responded to other folks prompted my comment.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
