Should I switch to this project?
Hello,
I am (27M) currently working for a big corporate in Sweden. I am a Data Scientist and I am working on a project that involves GenAI but the business side is really indecise and not really ready to lead such a project unfurtunately. This created stress between the team members and now I feel I am not learning but just "floating" in this project that will soon lose team members.
My manager proposed me to switch to another project (since one of the Data Scientists has been removed because not enough skilled...). This project it is based in US and most of the project members are located there. I believe this project will not be using GenAI but more statistical and conventional ML.
I am now trying to decide if switch to this project or not..
I made a list of Pros and Cons but still not sure what to do!
Pros:
- Some trips to the US for some workshops/team gathering
- A more important project, some managers keep an eye on this
- I will be more motivated maybe since it has strict deadlines
Cons:
- The timezone is US, so I fear they will sometimes put some late evening meetings...
- Not working with GenAI (I like to work with GenAI stuff)
- Uncertain of who the team members are and the team vibe
- Will I be enough good to work on this?
- I am not soo strong in Statistics
Now, what will you guys do in this situation? Would you jump and then handle the possible "negative" consequences?
Many thanks!
