What’s the timeline for suffering through a role at your new firm before boomeranging back? How do you approach your old manager about returning? We still have a great relationship and there were no hard feelings about me leaving.

If it really was a mistake, no better time than the present. It's going to look odd on your resume no matter what, so the fact that you figured out you made a mistake early and bounced back is not a huge deal. I just wouldn't make another move for a good number of years if you do this. While people do jump more now than in the old days, lots of quick jumps still doesn't look good.

May we know what’s causing your suffering? Moving to a new company and getting acclimated takes time. Some needs 6 months, some takes 2 years. What can be done is show initiative and spend some extra time to get through the ‘learning curve’. Esp in consulting, the learning curve is stiff and folks are expected to a certain extent to get through that curve faster than in the industry

I had the rug pulled from my initial project that was pitched to me when I interviewed. Ended up in a different type of project where the culture is extremely toxic. Have tried to roll off, but career manager keeps blocking it. Afraid if I stick around too long I’ll be too entrenched to roll off and only option will be to leave.

Also it’s widely known a good portion of the team is leaving the firm for this exact reason in January.

How long has it been? Why did you leave in the first place?

It’s been 6 months. Left because the project was coming to a close and there were no opportunities for promotion until at minimum the next cycle. Managed to secure a promotion and salary raise at another firm so I left.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
