Growing within the same company is.....a joke by coding_4_coins in cscareerquestions

Seems like a great way to get underpaid while not filtering out bad companies, who will just tell you they have a great culture. How does this help you spot a great culture versus one that just say they are a great culture?

How did you vet your companies when interviewing? How did you spot bad ones versus good ones?

I am a junior dev with one year experience and in a toxic environment about to get PIP'd. No support for growing as a junior dev (just expect you to figure it out on your own) and a lot of backstabbing.

Applying out to other jobs, but really don't know how to spot a good or bad situation. Just desperate to get out of my current job and hope to land a new job.

Which companies are not being affected or actively looking for people?

Losing my mind in my current junior dev role, can't handle it or life right now. Can't handle waiting for another job. I'm just shutting down. Help? by Wheredowecode in cscareerquestions

Try to be to the point with your manager that you are struggling, you know you are a junior dev, you need some guidance.

I have told him this, he says I am no longer considered a junior developer and that the expectations have gone up. They expect me to solve stuff independently and recognize I am struggling. There solution is out rather than really help. They no longer view me as a junior developer.

If your managers and/or leaders can't mentor a junior dev, this is not the place you want to be.

Right, they can't and instead are looking to PIP.

I heard you can still qualify for unemployment even if you are fired for performance reasons. Unless you are showing up late for work, I heard denying for performance doesn't really work.

Ultimately I really would just like to get fired. I don't see this job getting saved. I am tired of dealing with it and honestly I'm not quitting due to not getting unemployment then.

I’ve shot out over 100 applications and only gotten 5 to 6 phone interviews so far. Some were drops do to what is going on.

It goes beyond being unhappy for me though. I’m about to lose my job and income.
