Help! Advice from someone experienced working In ER re: bad experiences
Hi all-
I am looking for advice from someone who has worked in ER for a while. My question is, has anyone ever had a really terrible experience with their Sr Analyst? What was it and how did you deal with it?
Have seen a completely different side of analyst than in interview process. I did alot of dd before accepting, but apparently spoke to the wrong people because I have come to find out that many jr people have left because of experience.
Left somewhere really liked and enjoyed culture for opportunity. Feel like I am in difficult spot but I want to put in the effort to at least try to make this better - any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!
can you clarify this a bit?
does your new analyst work you too hard? or is he being an a-hole? or did you get into a big fight? or is he one of those guys who doesn't appear to know what the hell he is talking about, and you are worried about being associated with his lousy opinions/advice?
i've seen people transition to new groups successfully at my bb and it's not a big deal. anyway one of the things you can do is talk to HR and try to get reassigned to a different group. Keep your eyes peeled for job openings in your dept and try to spot opportunities such as new senior analyst hires - these guys sometimes have need for new associates. one of the good things about joining new hires is that you will be working on initiation reports which is a great way to learn the industry and feel 'up to speed' for the launch.
my best advice would be to put the nose to the grindstone, and develop relationships at work outside your group. show them you are bright and you should have the opportunity to move.
your experience in ER is very dependent upon your analyst. every analyst has a different style and you need to figure out how to make this relationship work as best you can until you spot the opportunity to leave.
Thanks for the advice gamenumbers.
The problem is not being worked too hard- I am absolutely willing to put in the time and came from position where working even worse hours, so not a big deal. The issue is a sort of jekyll and hyde mood-swing unpredictability/irrationality. My analyst appears to be approachable, laid back until they are not- and I have no clue what is going to set that off. I feel like it is just an act to be the "cool kid" but really does not treat underlying jr people well. My day is VERY much dictated by the day he/she is having - for example, if they have had a fight with their significant other, or are stressed because they have been on the road alot, or whatever.
I try not to take it personally, as I have just sat back and observed and I feel like it is more of a matter of them not being able to balance own life more than anything I did - but clearly it affects me and my working life, and that is not fair. I don't think that you should ever KNOW what kind of day your coworkers/boss is having, that is irrelevant as it is not a reflection on you or your work product.
I really feel that I have tried hard to make an effort to show interest in things they care about, have been proactive asking for feedback in terms of the way they would like things, tried to really get up to speed quickly and get on board with the sector etc. But it has always been me, and I am the jr person! There is no effort the other way and that is very odd to me.
You can't predict irrationality, which I see this individual as being. Leadership is significantly lacking and at this point I am very concerned about a) my development over the long term and b) they role that this person would have on my future (comp etc) because honestly, I just don't know what to expect on a daily basis.
In the end I feel I am in a really difficult spot. I am somewhat scared of approaching HR as I don't know how it works and what is relayed and I haven't been there long; but I am really unhappy and hate the volatility based on someone else's mood!
