Episode 495: What to do when my boss quits and moving to Romania?

This episode of Soft Skills Engineering addresses listener questions about career navigation. The first question tackles how to handle a situation where a well-liked manager may leave, and how to position oneself for a promotion without seeming disloyal. The hosts advise against assuming the manager's job is an automatic next step and suggest open communication with the manager about their plans and potential opportunities. The second question explores whether to accept a job at Google in Bucharest with double the compensation but requiring relocation from Berlin. The speakers weigh the pros and cons of leaving a strong social circle, the potential for corporate politics, and the benefits of working for a large, reputable company like Google, ultimately leaning towards recommending the move as a potentially enriching experience.
