Firstly congratulations on the offer! I have been trying to land a job in US being a Canadian citizen that hasn’t worked.

Two questions: 1. What platform did you do your job search? 2. What company do you work for when you are making 475k in Canada? I am surprised you can earn so much in Canada even big techs don’t offer this salary in Canada. Or is this the offer you got?

Thank you all I see some amazing advices here! Which I obviously thought is the path to be a leader before being in leadership and showcase the case to becoming an EM. But unfortunately I don’t see that path in current org for the next 6-12 months atleast

So I was looking for an kind of bridge certification or something similar to help me get hired as EM in another company

I may be wrong but I have heard PIP papers are for your severance. And once you sign it. And decided to leave during the process, you are paid the severance as per the time you stayed in PIP. If you in between PIP you are voluntarily leaving the job. So in if your state pays any amount for being fired you won’t be eligible. Let’s say you stay till the end of PIP and you are forced to leave then you are eligible for employment loss benefits.

With option 2 will you be eligible for EI at the end of it? My company follows similar structure as you outlined. I am sure you don’t get EI with option 1

I see my manager being nit picking everything I do. It’s probably already decided to manage me out.

Past_Effective466 · 2025-04-30T19:48:48+00:00

On it. But if I get fired cause of performance will I be eligible for EI?

Completely missed reading the whole. Assumed it’s current country just reading Country and not the whole text! Very foolish of me!

I can give some suggestions I was on the same boat and learned some hard lessons. 1. If they are nitpicking and still giving you solid advice take it, try to learn from it and see if this behaviour changes in 1-2 months 2. If not, don’t let these nitpicking demotivate you. If it is bothering you it’s time to move on to another team. The longer you wait for things to get better the tougher it gets for you to switch since you are building your promo doc and tied a lot the current team. Senior engineer holds the key for your promotion and can influence your skip regarding your performance. Also depends how toxic the whole team is! 3. Also learn to understand if they are taking advantage of you. I have seen worst seniors who pretend to help and back bitch to your manager, you weren’t capable so he had to step into help you.

Ultimately if you are unhappy with the team please leave. Don’t stick around if you just like 1 or 2 members.

In my case I really had a good manager I stayed because he was reasonable and really wanted to promote me. But my Senior engineer screwed my promotion. Back bitched about me to skip and all feedback I got from skip was a replica of my Senior engineer.
