I’m in need of career advice. Context: I worked in my previous company until January 2026. The company went bankrupt, and I was fired.

I joined a new company(2.5 months). Thework is super good. I love what I’m doing, but my manager is a bit different. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad.

Example: When I joined, my manager used to yell for the initial 1-2 weeks. Then she said something like “no progress in you” when I didn’t prioritise stuff according to my manager’s expectations. But the same day in the evening, I got a message saying that I have a lot of potential, etc.

I think currently it’s at a point where if I see my manager’s message, I would have some kind of panic. I applied for vacation 2 months in advance for August end, but initially, my manager said it was fine. Then my manager approved the vacation of my colleague. Now I was asked to adjust mine, which seems unfair. My colleague is out for 4 weeks, and mine is for 1.5 weeks. Essentially, I’m being told I need to cover for him, which is fair. But when I applied, I had no visibility since his vacations weren’t added yet into the system.

I’m on a limited contract, so I’m not even sure if it would lead to a full-time contract.

I got another offer(CSC generation - I can’t find any good corporate employees who moved to this company, so I’m not sure). 27% more pay, but they have this clause in their bonus which, according to Google, says it tracks activity on your laptop.

Clause they have- Did the Participant meet or exceed the set productivity target based on ActivTrak metrics
(or metrics tracked in a similar system should ActivTrak be replaced) considering their role and function?

I just have some gut feeling that my current job either I would not get a permanent contract or I wouldn’t get support to grow.

Good things about the role and company: the company is super amazing, and the work I do, I’m learning new things. Essentially, my manager has no guidance. Initially, I struggled for 1.5 months, but I’m coming up with my own OKRs and making decisions and then letting my manager know we should do this. What my manager committed to OKRs, I was able to come up with a plan on how to get to that margin in 2-3 months instead of the entire H2.

So my question:
Should I join another company?
Should I stay here and keep looking for new jobs?

Context- i have been here for more than 6 years cleared B1 earn >100k. Everyone arounds me keep saying apply for citizenship and then decide.

Currently i somehow think career growth in Germany has slowed down, living cost has increased and finding new jobs which pays well is quite tricky.

Im 60ish percent in mind that i should leave Germany and move to Dubai, or south asian countries. But everyone and even my family suggest i should get my citizenship and then make decision because then i would have country where i have spent and contributed as a option before taking risky steps since im married and my decision would impact not only me but also my wife.

She is currently working in her home country and i don’t how i can ask her to move because i know she would be getting lower pay she earns close to 75k in asia. Other option is i move to her country and i would need to learn mandarin but i think that would take 1-2 years.

Hi, I recently joined a new role four weeks ago. Within two weeks, I was told to come up with OKRs for next week. In the third week, I was told to do competitive analysis and also suggest sizing for OKRs I recommended in my fourth week. I’m being told to develop a strategy on how to make part of the business profitable. The issue is I have no idea how to do that. My manager yelled at me on my second day in front of two people when I couldn’t get numbers on one of the topics we looked at that morning ( we looked at two months’ data; I was asked in a meeting what the six-month-ago margin for x part of the business line was). I got yelled at again one week ago when I started doing sizing on the ideas I was asked to come up with and also told to always do top-down.

Currently, I’m putting in 10-11 hrs daily on how to make that part of the business profitable, but I don’t think I can alone come up with a strategy to do that.

So, I’m not sure if it’s the right fit or if I’m just super dumb to come up with it.

My total work experience is four years, and it’s a new industry I joined compared to my previous role.

In my old job, I was super good; my manager was amazing, and I enjoyed going to work. At the start, I didn’t know anything about that role as well, but my manager guided me quite a bit in my previous role.

I also got approached for a new role with higher pay than the role I’m in, 15%. But this company is super big, so I don’t want to burn bridges by leaving one month into the role.
