What do I do if I’m starting to outgrow my project faster than the project is progressing? I’m learning… but not at the pace I want. Should I ask to rotate, or is that stepping on toes?

You could ask to rotate, but using that reasoning may not be well received. The project exists for a reason and you are there to serve the project. The project does not exist to serve you and your ambitions. Making a request to move focused on your ambitions could be a bad strategic move.

I would ask to rotate if you have a good relationship with your manager. At my company, that would not step on any toes at all. They would happily move me if I needed something more challenging.

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
