How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
Had a bad showing for case interview about a month ago. I knew the material i just straight up had a bad day. Took feedback in exit interview and feel prepared to reapply for a different role with no cool off time… should I still wait or shoot my shot?
Asking as I am curious if my app will be flagged as I just applied to another role recently.EY-Parthenon

Tbh you’re better off unpacking this in therapy. You’ll have to figure out what’s causing you to feel your self-worth is tied to work/title/position/ others perception etc.
Therapy for the why. Career coach for the how.
I'm in a similar position. Consistently great reviews, top raises, early promotions, "Rockstar" on all of my feedback, but interviewed with 25-30 different companies during the hiring rush in 2020/2021 and didn't get a single offer. Interviewing is a completely different skillset than actual job performance, they're hiring for people who know how to play the game. I actually paid for an interview coach and spent a ton of time practicing before finally getting an offer to switch to another consulting job earlier this year

My .02 - you need to better market yourself. Don’t question your skills. It’s just a positioning thing. Just curious are you from a different part of the world? Sometimes people expect to see experience in a certain way. :)

Plus lots of unqualified people BS with their skills and come as “experts”. That just makes it harder to find the real qualified people. Feel free to DM. Happy to connect directly to provide guidance
I mean what does that really say about me? I see on here all the time that these firms will hire anyone with a pulse but for whatever reason I haven’t landed a position yet. My question is, is it worth continuing to try? My current job is good. I make 126 base and have a ton of responsibility reporting directly to a CISO. My responsibilities seem higher than friends I know that work at the big 4 yet I can’t seem to get in. It just makes me feel really stupid sometimes.
Do you want a lifelong career in consulting? I recently got a disappointing year-end raise (still doing very well for my age and pay), but I’ve been feeling the drive to get out and work on passive income / side hustles because no matter how much I make or how good I am, I don’t feel like I’ll ever be passionate about consulting

Big 5?🧐
classic PwC tomfoolery
If you want to work for big 4, then I can help you see where you can improve but it varies so much by group. If it’s just an ego thing, I can tell you that interviews are a hit or miss with a ton of factors in play. I can do great at these consulting interviews but I can barely get an interview from industry, let alone an offer.
Don’t be hard on yourself for this. Interviews are a different test then pleasing your coworkers
