New Delhi, Feb 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Lack of resources, routine aspects of the role, increased level of pressure from the board, and others are the reasons causing 83 per cent of Indian cybersecurity and IT professionals... - Social News XYZ
I worked (in USA) at an IT firm that was constantly stretched thin. I wanted to move on but the burnout made searching for a new position very draining. The best thing that happened was two rounds of layoffs. I was one of the highest paid staff and got let go.
I now work at an org that is incredibly well-staffed with awesome tooling. My job is incredibly easy by comparison. I had drinks with my former manager (a pretty good friend) last week. He’s considering moving on this summer due to broken promises of a bonus and a raise. Taking my job away from me was the biggest favor they could have given me.
Sounds like it was a good idea to leave. What I dont get is that your ex manager hasnt left despite broken promises. Basic trust is like the only thing that holds me anywhere.
I think he feels a sense of loyalty, or used to. They promoted him into a leadership position. He hasn’t had it long enough to come into a new org at the same level. He’s been a manager for three years. We discussed five years being the minimum viable experience (in our convo) to translate to the same position in another org.
Interesting idea! :) thanks for elaborating. I didnt know there was something like this. As a CEO I looked at people for their talents and potential, never for their experience for it is deceiving. But a larger company would obviously need some kind of process that someone without the gift of recognizing talent can follow.
