I'll be joining tw as UI Lead, soon.
I'm a javascript/react developer since inception of my career & haven't worked much on CICD/JENKINS and similar technology.
Should I be worried that as a lead I don't know these and will it affect by job security?
Ps- I'm good at UI,js, react etc.
Thoughtworks
Experts please help.
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.

Currently a big 4 partner and was a c-suite industry executive before consulting. Prior to industry was a partner in a boutique.
Consulting is more demanding day in and day out. The grind of selling every engagement, the travel, drain on the family, is much harder in consulting.
That said, industry politics are far more difficult than consulting. Always playing the angles with other executives, board, etc.
Also, in industry, the decisions are yours. As consultants, if our recommendations don’t work it’s the implementation, or the client, or some other reason. In industry, if a call doesn’t work out, it’s on you.

Industry is more challenging intellectually and politically.. however Consulting can be more challenging personally
I’m an SM - and both are demanding in completely different ways. Both have targets to achieve but challenges are diff. I doubt either of them have any less stress
D2 expand on why industry is more intellectually challenging.
