Leaving a job after five years can be a big career move, especially when the next role appears to offer a fresh start. But one data engineering professional found themselves back in the job market within weeks of making the switch after the new employer reportedly cited project and budget changes.
The professional shared the experience on Reddit, saying they had spent around five years working in data engineering at their previous organisation before joining another company. Soon after the move, however, the new project and client situation changed, creating budget constraints.
