Never Make These Mistakes at Your New Job, New Role, New Project | Career Talk With Anand

Have you seen people make some of these mistakes at a new job, new role, new project?

The best advice I heard when I join a new company - "Don't criticise anyone or anything and mind your business for first 4 months . you dont know how things work in new team . "

1) roles and responsibility, expectation in 30 days 2) spend initial days in identifying who are the decision makers and who are the influencers 3) informally inform the manager that you are not getting good support 4) understand the eco system in the initial days 5) don't offend the existing senior ppl, don't talk about previous glory if you are joining the running team.

First mistake.. Don't join corporate and spoil your health and personal life . Do something if your like doing own business

correct, new team members r treating the new entrant as a competitor and they dont interact and decline our meeting invites, behaving like " who the hell r u to invite me ? to talk to me ..etc kind of..." i have gone thru the same situation, sir...and i didnt know how to handle those situation

Very realistic insights on corporate team works

Thanks for the insight. I have just joined a new company and it's my first time in IT as a software developer. However, I'm overwhelmed with all the technologies they use. It just feels like everything is new to me and I have to learn them all. How do you tackle such a situation and how to developer learn new technologies in a short time. Just feels like new stuff has been added every week.

First mistake .... don't do jobs..... Do business ....

This is a typical scenario that I have been facing in my last few jobs, where the managers are Indians. On the other hand, my non-Indian managers made sure that there's a plan set - trainings, KT, documents, realistic timelines, etc. So, now I know who to ask and what to ask and be straight. If it works, it works, or I simply say bye bye. It's a pathetic situation, but that's how IT is in more than 70% to 80% of the cases in India. You would be lucky to have some understanding and support to succeed if you have Indian managers or seniors for most cases. I did have good Indian managers, the percentage is less though. I feel sorry for the younger generation. I hope this negative and poisoning culture changes sooner than later. If the HR department of your company doesn't work independently, then you are more likely to face this. I have seen companies with very strong and ethical HR departments that fire IT heads and India heads.

Powerful insight ❤

This is a complete guidance, Anand. Thank you so much.

Thanks Anand. If all that still doesn't help, hopefully one can start working for another employer...

It's really important instructions

He talks idealistic scenarios which is far from reality. No one gives a shit if we ask for documentation or proper KT. Sometimes we are on our own and only our technical skills and taking things in our own hands helps us in the end.

Each and every words are well described!

There are companies that misuses their NEW joinees be it fresher or experienced and they not only assign more work to them and also use them in multiple areas that are irrelevant to their skills for which they were not hired for because they are more vulnerable,can't say no to the work that are given and somehow they want to prove themselves in new roles but whereas the experienced guys in the team,pick only the limited taks that they are comfortable with and the higher management knows this very well but they can't question them just because they have a good rapport and they are senior resource in the project etc..eventhough we learnt to say NO after sometime, it was not heard..they know very well that this person wud stay in the company atleast for a yr and won't have the tendency to leave the job immediately joining in the company..but by that time,they would get their job done..At the same time employee will get used to be adjusted with this..any suggestions how do we handle this situation?

Great advice

Golden words of wisdom:) agree with all the points

When training is questioned managers are grined face, as the key challenge for new person in the project is to build relationships and gain acceptance ...no one likes oversmart person, person has to carefully tread the behavior of peoples, then embark on next level of initiatives
