I started my first job early this year as a first level SWE at a financial services firm. I always push boundaries and do the best I can at my job. I learned about a lot of things really quickly. I helped on board 3 new team members. After 3 months at my job, I became responsible for all production implementations. And I’m always the first one to lead an effort we commit to in the PI. I’m exceeding expectations based on the 3 reviews I have so far (4th will be the annual performance review in couple months). I try to help everyone I can to get them up to speed for the benefit of the team but they never learn. They rather keep asking me for help with their work. I’m tired of working with incompetent team members who barely do their work and come to me day before the end of sprint to ask for help. Today, a senior staff swe asked me to do a research work that leader assigned to him. I asked the leader if I should take over that work and leader said don’t spent any time on that and got really angry at the senior staff swe. This guy always chooses to take the back seat instead of helping the team and he would never help me with anything when I was on training. Now he is coming to me and asking for help. It’s unbelievable that a senior engineer who has been at the job for quite a long time asking me for help. I’ll see if the promotion I get in couple months is worth my struggle with lazy coworkers. I’m preparing for interviews in the meantime. I wanted to share what I’m going through here just for rant. Thank you for your time! TC: 108k YOE: 0.83

Relax and take it easy.. Tall trees are cut first.. Play safe Even if you do 100 pr a week you won't become CEO.. So enjoy life out of your work
It would be great to have a team where everyone does their best to contribute to the efforts we commit to instead of holding back someone.
Ideal job / team never exists , thats life
