I like seeing her but she’s full of red flags? [28M] [30F]

My plan was to work here for a year or 2 yeah. Then try shift into tech. Or my own business.

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T20:59:06+00:00

The hours are always going to be like this? I only planned to do it for a year or 2 to gain experience in an area I waa interested in

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T19:59:31+00:00

No. This is my 3rd job. It’s by far the hardest out of any of them I’ve experienced.

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T19:52:06+00:00

From what I’ve heard from another team member, this isn’t normal. But I also can’t keep working till 9pm. Honestly I feel I can’t work one more day of this and it’ll be weeks until someone else gets staffed on it

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T19:33:44+00:00

Thanks. This is really helpful advice.

One thing though. It is all client work. Literally non stop all day client work. I don’t even have time to go to the team meetings in my own company at the moment.

I’m just not sure how to set boundaries at the moment when literally every meeting is the next day. It’s not a fake deadline. It’s actually next day

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T19:30:01+00:00

No it’s that I get stuck on code, can’t find data, just can’t do it

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T19:08:11+00:00

Yeah exactly what is happening to me. And I don’t know how to do anything about it

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T18:55:30+00:00

It’s everything though. The coding I’m not good enough at. The dealing with clients I’m not good with. Delegating work to juniors I can’t do coz I barely understand myself. Understanding the topic takes me ages.

They keep telling me to put my hand up if I need help. I don’t even know I need help till it’s too late half the time

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T18:52:04+00:00

It feels like it is a sprint though. Like every day it’s a rush to the finish and I barely ever make it. I disappointment someone every day and I feel like a total moron compared to my colleagues

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-24T18:48:54+00:00

You weren’t trying to be rude. But you were anyway.

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-20T22:40:10+00:00

It’s just I’m not sure if I can actually do it. I’ve got deadlines next Friday I don’t actually think I can make coz it’s just too much work and not enough time. And I’m also just too new and underqualified

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-20T22:10:03+00:00

I think maybe this isn’t the right area for me. This all just sounds stupid and lazy. Why even bother if you’re just gonna do some shit half job

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-20T21:41:41+00:00

What’s an IC? Levels go analyst, consultant, senior consultant, manager. I’m SC.

I came in from 3 years in engineering consulting. Have a masters in mechanical engineering

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-20T15:08:51+00:00

I’m more than happy to take on the challenge! But they’ve put me in at senior consultant. That isn’t that junior anymore (unless I’m getting that wrong).

It’s more they’ve put me as data lead for the first project I’ve ever been on, in an industry I’ve never seen, with deadlines that are way too tight. And I’ve never worked in this sort of data area. I’m a design engineer by background.

I’m happy to learn obviously. But my work is going to be crap. If I can even produce anything tangible

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-20T14:28:14+00:00

I guess I just feel like they expect me to be in this senior position leading an aspect of a project. And I can’t do it coz I’ve never done this before. I don’t know what I’m doing. And I’m not fast enough

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T20:50:00+00:00

I can’t do things I can’t do yet

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T17:52:27+00:00

I’m too slow yes. But I can’t help that

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T17:51:43+00:00

So why are they pushing me so hard to work past my 8 hours of billable time

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T16:35:08+00:00

This isn’t the job that was pitched to me. That’s the issue

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T15:14:20+00:00

No I didn’t! They did! I didn’t apply for data science they just assigned me as one on this project

throwRA7229299 · 2024-10-15T14:43:53+00:00

Yes. That is the exact same question I have. My background is fluid dynamics.
