The person they hired to backfill my role as I move onto a new team as an ACD is crashing and burning. I’m nervous this will delay my move and my promotion—or at least they’ll use it as an excuse. I’ve been trying to set the new person up for success but…yikes. What would you do?

Tell them to bring me on as a freelancer, and I'll right the ship long enough for you to abandon it.

Congrats on the promotion!

If your (E/G)CD on the new team is a new manager for you, talk to them about when the transition will happen. Start getting onboarded so the process is moving along. The new backfill is not their problem.

If your current (E/G)CD oversees both teams, definitely talk to them about when it will happen. They, not you, are responsible for the backfill person. Get off of that team and let the new person fall on their face.

Second this, your CD is responsible for this person. You’re responsible for onboarding them and passing on anything helpful to get them started but you are not responsible for their performance.

What that gotta do you??

Have you tried a 1 on 1 meeting with the person? Ask them what specific problems they face and help them succeed.

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Is now a good or bad time to move? I’m a financial analyst with 5 YOE (3 in manufacturing, 2 in Saas). I’ve been asking for promotion for almost a year now in my current company.

However, he said due to budget issue, my promotion probably won’t go thru during this cycle (August), but they will make sure it go thru in Feb ’23. If I get offered SFA role outside, should I consider? Or stay?
