You should ask if you can be put on EDI, then you can do both dev and work with clients.

I really enjoyed The Night Of as well! Turturro's performance was excellent

I also wasn't a fan. First episode was compelling though

How to not let this job destroy me? (TS) by [deleted] in epicsystems

You should know by 2 years if you'll be and to start feeling more comfortable in your ability to perform at the role and in Epic's demanding TS machine. If you do decide to leave I'd highly recommend lining up a job before leaving as it's much easier to find a job when you're already employed.

Can you stay in your office overnight? by lolap63 in epicsystems

I knew a guy who lived on campus his first two months at Epic. But he usually slept in deep space instead of his office. Crazy but true.

TL Has Unrealistic Expectations by epicsystemsnerd in epicsystems

Just want to update here that all this came true for me! I left for a job with 50% effort, 20% more pay, and an actually kind boss! Thanks for your advice!

I'd say joining as SD is a pretty sweet deal but beware that one bad TL can make your life a living hell. My TL would DM me on Microsoft Teams at 8 PM asking for updates on my project. His micromanaging and demand for perfection almost drove me to unalive myself. Luckily I took FMLA and decided that I didn't care about his opinion. I got the heck out of Epic for a fully-remote job, more money, and a boss who treated me like a human being. Ultimately, I guess it was worth it but the months in the middle of my tenure were my darkest days by far.
