The most exhausting part of some jobs isn’t the work, it’s the emotional regulation required to survive the culture. When did you realize you were managing people’s moods more than your role?

I would say this is usually the case for me, to be honest. Rarely is the work the issue, it's always the culture and the people. I could handle the work, I can't handle the toxicity.

Very much agree

Yes, that’s correct

That's such a good point. I've been in positions where the work itself may not have been exciting, but it was pleasant enough. Dealing with some of the personalities on the job was the real challenge. Emotional regulation is a good term for it, you have to be so careful at times.

Absolutely! It's exhausting how much just making sure the team survives the day it's part of the job

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

If you are a manager how did you move to that level? It seems like a step that's out of my reach no matter how long I've worked at the company or how hard I work.
