I’ve started more than one job now that has had little to no onboarding, and just assigns you a “mentor” who is as overworked as you’re about to be while throwing you into the fire. I’ve been at my current role for almost 7 months now and have just finally figured out my initial project, so now I’m being thrown onto two more to learn and work on tickets for while still sitting in meetings all day for the first one. The team is understaffed, and our manager is so overworked his calendar looks like a giant Tetris combo about to go off. Asking for any type of training or help ends with no response half the time, because they’re too busy to even notice the slack message. This can’t be normal, can it? This is a 1000+ person company I’m at right now, but I’ve even run into it with a ~30 person company. Is this just a symptom of a super shitty work life balance? Do I just keep missing something in the interview process? TC:130 YOE:9 #swe #software #engineering

Tiktok offer
Jeez for that TC I’d dip, it’s not worth it. Is this in the US?
Even with higher tc it’s not really worth it. They can get an interview anywhere. Just game the interviews and get a better spot.
