I’m a new grad who started at one of the Big Tech companies this past year. Been recently notified that I’m in danger of being placed under PIP due to underperformance, which I thought was fair due to extenuating familial circumstances. I’m personally feeling despair in being capable or being able to stay in the tech industry considering my lack of ability or general aptitude.
I was on a PIP early on - was a terrible fit with the team I was on at the time. I moved on to other jobs and did wonderfully in other environments. You can get through this, start looking around and remember that you can interview the company when you are interviewing. You can take the time to find something that works for you, and that you work well for.
