Stuck on a tech implementation for 18 months now. Part of me wants to quit my job, but a big reason I am anxious to do so is how pivotal my knowledge and experience is to the success of the project.

if you’re dissatisfied, start looking for new opportunities. we are all replaceable. in the meantime, as the experienced one, you can try flexing your experience by attempting to push back on some of the deadlines and challenge those who are making them to help execute.

i wouldn’t worry about burning bridges on something like this. if you’re the most experienced one, it seems like everyone else either burned theirs, or nobody really cared anyway and it was fine. either way, it seems like it doesn’t matter as much as you think it do. almost certainly it won’t matter over a year after you’ve left.

@SC, thanks, that is what I am doing. Applied to a few jobs over the weekend and have been responding selectively to recruiters in LinkedIn.

The deadlines are already aggressive / unachievable, and without me I fear multiple aspects of the project would go belly up. Not trying to sound arrogant by any means, I’ve just been there for so long and as a result know the ins and outs better than nearly anyone. If something like that we’re to happen, it seems like leaving right now would create bad blood no matter how I did it. Even if it is what I should do. How do you guys deal with the pressure of some of these huge, expensive projects? Do you ever feel like it’s weighing on you too much?

Heads up. Whether or not the partners fail to deliver their obligation has nothing to do with you. It’s not like they’ll give you 1M if you pull them through. They’ll spit on you, tell you everyone is type A in the org, as if you want a medal for doing your job, then put you on the next project.

Move on because an 18 month dead end implementation does nothing for your career, and that’s all you have to worry about.

Put yourself first. They’ll find a way and when you quit you’re free. I used to be self employed and couldn’t quit or risk being sued.

Agree with Accenture 1. I’m sure travel often on a plane and heard the speel to our on your oxygen mask first. This applies to everything in life. You are not indespensible.

Ask for a raise then if your that pivotal

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
