What are the signs you are about to get rolled off as a Junior?

What clues does the internal client team give you before they decide to roll you off for good? I have been in this project three weeks and honestly I believe I am going to get rolled off. I used a couple of days to finish courses from the consultancy company and had a couple of meetings with resource managers, non project related activities and I prioritized those over finishing my deliverables. I am learning the entire stack of this project as well so that fucking sucks too and everyone here is hands off.

I am fucking slow and despite asking for deadlines no one says anything at all beyond "oh we just want you to make some progress, deadline is your pace! " BS answer

I believe I will get rolled off soon at this pace and want to know the signs before they happen so that I can prepare for the bench and getting another job ASAP. Thanks!

Junior staffed on project for a complex role. Is it better to be rolled off or to quit the client

Hi , I was onboarded on a project I dont possess the skills for as a new grad. It is a Jr position but one that required Dev Exp to be able to be productive ( I have no Dev experience) .Been three weeks in and it takes me like 5 days to solve a single ticket. I honestly know that this is a bad look and am certain I will be rolled off soon.

I don't want to talk to resource management because I don't want to make it obvious yet but I already know they client is starting to have second doubts judging by the fact I understand nothing about their product and production as a whole

I don't participate in meetings and tbh I am severely out of my depth in this position. How can I get the hell of this without having it damage my reputation? Otherwise bench.

How to test a yaml pipeline that depends on templates spread across multiple repos without breaking anything?

Hi , I have a pipeline that uses multiple templates from other repos and I have never used ADO before so I was wondering how to test my pipeline under multiple different scenarios without actually merging to main ? I am a little puzzle regarding how to do this without disrupting any other services or pipelines

First day finally receiving accesses as a Jr and It really fucking sucked.

Today I finally got a ticket and I was quite shocked to realize that I understand next to nothing about their systems even after reading a couple docs that explained the architectural walk through

I don't know why they pick X ports, I don't know how the services interact together and I don't know how anything is connected or how to implement monitoring. I am on probation, 2 months and afraid I might not pass it. It's remote so there is no way to have a senior around and the team is fairly small despite the size of the org which is prominent and well established.

The seniors openly dislike hand holding and I don't know what to do, it's frustrating and they are responsible for assessing me that the end of this whole thing. At the same time afraid that I might ask too much and get written down as downright incompetent.

How on earth can I survive here when everything is so complex and connected? Shit I never coded an API or whole app just simple things and I genuinely don't know what it takes for an app to communicate with all its components.

Took me a fucking whole day to write notes on the architecture and spit out a document with questions that seemed semi decent and I understood perhaps only 45% of it

I have no Dev exp , am a new grad and a couple of months ago I was going through an awful time and working a hotel job and aiming for sysadmin. anyway no idea why they chose me.

Three people vouched for me and that also fucking sucks because if I don't do well their judgement will get called out inside the org.

I don't want to quit but I genuinely am concerned that I might not make the cut and the guilt is killing me

Joining as a junior a DevOps team and the Lead SRE said he does no hand holding, on a scale of 1 to 10 , How fucked am I and what did he mean?

Pretty much the title. He said "no hand-holding at all" and that he dislikes it, so I'm wondering what he actually meant by that.

I think I'm going to be assigned to him, and I have no idea what he wants from me. Does it mean "shoo, shoo, do it on your own, don't bother me unless the sky is falling apart"? Or is it more along the lines of "okay, yes, I can help, but only after you've exhausted your resources on your own"?

To make matters worse, he seems exhausted as heck and was so busy he could barely find time to set up a meeting with me and had to cancel not two but three times. I've got a really, really bad gut feeling, guys. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it reads like someone who wants a person who'll train themselves and wouldn't have time to look after a junior.

There is another devops in the team but he barely speaks English and i am seriously considering learning his language since I am a polyglot just so that I can talk to someone less... aloof because that SRE seems lowkey pissy as hell. He is also suspiciously young for a lead and gives a certain tech bro vibe that seems hard to get along with.

I'm fresh out of college, so I'm already anticipating a lot of hardship and some serious studying for hours every day... which I actually enjoy, honestly. How do I survive his style without ending up out on the street?

Manager proposed me for a role I have no primary skill in and the interview is tomorrow.

He was aware that I don't have the knowledge and the skillset required but they were asking for people interested in the technology and he had no idea if they would interview me. NOTICE HE SOUNDED REALLY UNSURE AND THIS GODAMN PROJECT HAS NOT INTERVIEWED NOBODY DESPITES HAVING THE JOB POSTED SINCE MARCH.

IN FACT THE GUY WHO WAS PROPOSED FOR IT AND NEVER ONCE INTERVIEWED LEFT THE COMPANY BECAUSE NO ONE CONTACTED HIM AND HE WAS TRULY TALENTED SO HE FOUND A NEW JOB

That guy quit and then I guess the manager went into panic mode and yes... proposed me.

Anyway my dumbass self thinks "Nah it's whatever obviously no one would be dumb enough to call me when it is EXPLICITLY LISTED that I do not know those technologies, LOLZ"

YIKES! MCFUCKINGBIG LEGACY COMPANY CONTACTS MY STAFFING MANAGER 5 DAYS AFTER I GOT PROPOSED BY THE MANAGER.

Guys the interview is tomorrow , I can't tell you for the life of me a single mcfucking thing about that technology and I do not know what to do. I am a trainee and I am panicking

ITS A PANEL INTERVIEW AND I HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE HALP

A year with braces on , unsupervised. Can't continue treatment and do not know what to do about this hassle

I went bankrupt and I had to abandon a treatment halfway, I was supposed to get my braces off that year but didn't because the doctor a) disappeared overnight with no notice * turns out he was a sketchy guy ** b) Financial bankruptcy stopped me from seeking treatment once he was gone so I just... forgot about the braces.

Today marks a year since I was on treatment and uhm I still have the braces on... Everything was holding on just fine untill about a month so I need someone to solve this problem.

I am just annoyed and want these braces off thanks! As in forever off don't want to ever go back.

Anyway to achieve that? I want to preserve whatever was done in my failed treatment permanently thanks!

I am fuming so hard right now and need to know how to plan a clean exit

I can't believe I had to call my university and explicitly instruct them not to release any information to anyone unless they present my ID and it is actually me requesting it under absolutely no circumstances should they share anything with anyone else.

How do you make sure staff at any facility does not give those sons of a bitch any info? It seems people are too trust worthy and cant imagine why i would have to explicitly state "DO NOT LET ANYONE WHO IS NOT ME DO ANYTHING"

Yet they gave my parents, the same people who physically harmed me,information about my graduation deadlines. That information was important because I needed them not to know about it so I could make my own plans.

What confuses me is that they keep insisting on paying for my degree when I'm the one paying for it. I earned that opportunity after working at a terrible hotel and eventually being recruited by a great company. Around that same time, my parents decided to contact family members, expose some of the lowest moments of my life, and completely violate my privacy. None of this belongs to them at all

I genuinely do not understand why they continue to behave this way.

I hate them. I really do. Anyone who threatens to call the police on you, have you committed to a psychiatric ward, and openly says they wouldn't care if you died deserves nothing from you.

What hurts the most is that they took away what should have been my graduation. It was supposed to be something private, something on my own terms that happened DESPITE them NOT because of them

At this point, I'm actively looking for a job in another city because I want to leave this place entirely and start over somewhere else.

Part of me is tempted to save enough money, buy a plane ticket, and disappear without warning,just leave one day and never come back.
