I am senior software engineer, I have culture interview scheduled at AND Digital. Any one gone through that ? Any suggestions how to prepare ? And happy to have any review about the company?
Here’s a more professional and clear rewrite of your message:
I am a Senior Software Engineer and was recently put on a PIP based on feedback mentioned during my performance review. One of my teammates, who is one level junior to me but has been in the project for many years, seems to have a strong influence within the team because he knows the project inside out.
I feel he often talks negatively about me to the manager or other senior team members. Even during my show-and-tell sessions or API/code design reviews, he tends to put me on the spot publicly. For example, he questioned why I had done certain refactoring even though requirements had evolved, and also asked why I use GitHub Copilot. I feel constantly judged and challenged by him.
Since I am relatively new to the project, I am still learning the system and domain knowledge, whereas he already has years of context and relationships within the team.
At this stage, I am trying to understand the best way to handle the situation professionally. Should I raise my concerns with my manager, or should I focus only on delivering strongly during the PIP period? Also, what are the best strategies to successfully pass a PIP in this kind of environment?
I am a senior software engineer having 18 years of experience. I am on pip right now is and working on a big size bank in uk. Applying outside but I can not find who can pay higher then my current pay. Even I am happy of someone can offer same amount but looks like very rare to find that jobs and getting selected another challenge. Is there any jobs that can offer more the. £100k pounds in Manchester uk ? What should I do in that situation? Or shall I change my role as swe has not much in demand ?
I am senior software engineer (Java .net c++ and many more) working for 18 years as full stack developer. I want to upskill as I feel I am saturated now with my role and the work what I do. Is it work spending money and time on ai ml courses ? I have 2 kids at home so I feel getting time will be more expensive to me but of it is worth it can give a try ? Any suggestions? Or anyone in the same boat ?
I have experience in .NET, Java, C++, full stack development, SQL, a bit of DevOps, Azure, and cloud-native engineering. But currently I’m on a PIP and honestly feeling very confused about my next step.
At the age of 49, is this the right time to transition my career? If I start applying for jobs again, most companies will still ask for .NET and Java skills. But in this AI era, I’m not sure how long these skills will continue to have the same value.
I’m wondering whether I should take a short break, upskill in cloud, solution architecture, or AI, and then apply for different kinds of roles. The truth is, I don’t enjoy coding as much anymore, and sometimes I feel maybe I’m not as good at it now as I used to be.
Has anyone been in a similar situation at this stage of their career? What did you do next? I’d genuinely appreciate any suggestions or guidance.
I am a Senior Software Engineer with around 16–17 years of experience in IT. Over the years, I have worked with multiple technologies and programming languages including C++, Java, C#, SQL, and a bit of Python as well. Most of my experience has been as a Full Stack Developer and Senior Software Engineer.
I also have exposure to Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, cloud technologies, and I have completed a GCP certification. I have worked on deploying APIs on Azure as well. Throughout my career, I have worked across different domains such as retail, banking, healthcare, and manufacturing.
However, at this stage of my career, I honestly feel a bit lost and confused. I don’t enjoy coding and development work the way I used to. Sometimes I make very small or silly mistakes that even junior developers quickly identify and fix. I feel they are more focused, more interested, and more involved than I currently am.
Lately, I feel mentally disconnected from my work. Instead of enjoying problem-solving, I just try to finish tasks quickly and move on. I am not sure whether it is burnout, lack of interest, stress, or simply a stage in my career where I no longer feel motivated by hands-on development work.
Now I am trying to understand what direction I should take next. Since my entire experience is in IT, I want to stay within the industry, but perhaps move into a role where I can use my years of experience without being deeply involved in day-to-day coding.
I am also at a stage in life where balancing work, learning new technologies, and family responsibilities is becoming difficult. I have two kids, and sometimes it feels overwhelming to constantly keep up with everything in tech.
Has anyone gone through something similar in their career? How did you handle it? What kind of roles or career paths did you move into? I would genuinely appreciate any guidance or suggestions.
Actually while in the pip once code review happened and my manger pointed a suggestion and she was mentioning in my 121 what you think about that suggestion? Does it make sense? And how much copilot you use ? I am scared and I am on pip will this be very negative ? I am a senior software engineer?
I am senior software engineer and I am on pip looking for new jobs just want to check how is monzo bank culture ? Is it good company to work with ?
