FDE (Forward Deployment Engineer)

Hi, I saw a previous post mentioning that Cognizant's FDE role is intended to automate production delivery tasks.

At FIS, there are now internal FDE openings, and some employees are being "encouraged" to apply. You might wonder why I'm asking this here, but I'm interested in how others view the situation.
If the responsibilities of the FDE role are changing significantly and you decide not to apply for the FDE position, choosing instead to stay in your current role, do you think that could make you more vulnerable (immediate target candidate) during future layoffs? Or would you simply stay put and accept that risk?
I'm looking for opinions.


Job Postings External Only

Has anyone else noticed that they are posting certain jobs as external only? Not allowing internal candidates to apply? I’ve also noticed that some of these external only jobs are remote, whereas all the jobs posted internally are hybrid at best. Anyone know what’s going on? What does this mean for career progression?


I keep hearing that advancement opportunities are available

I'm just not seeing much evidence of it in practice. Most internal openings seem to follow a predictable path. Everyone goes through the application process, interviews happen, and then somehow the outcome is exactly what people predicted on day one. After seeing it happen enough times, most people stop bothering.


Don't waste time trying to advance career here

Was offered an internal position slightly below advertised salary on internal site & on LinkedIn. When I pushed back was told the pay range was "actually lower than advertised" - hm indicated the advertised rate was for midline to highest and I was told I can't qualify for midrange b/c the new grade was much higher than my current rank.

USB would NOT pay me for the role and job that I would be doing. They wanted to pay me off of my current salary & a certain % of the advertised midline - was firmly told no wiggle room that's how offers are made now.

Promptly declined and the manager seemed surprised. So I'm qualified enough for the job but don't deserve the pay? No thanks I'm not desperate. My next move will be to a better employer.


Possible promotion?!

One of my coworkers on my direct team has applied to a new position within dell, which is a grade level above his current level. So it'd be a step up. i7 to i8.

We both do the same job and same exact work but he's just a grade above me. Now, they would be leaving my team on corporate to go into the Federal department, which would open up the i7 position. I am an i6 and nobody else on my team is an i6 so...

Simple reasoning would be that I step into that i7 role... with a promotion of course, right?? RIGHT?!


For US employees - WFH means your time is coming

From a meeting today

  • if you are WFM you won't be able to move internally. All new roles are in office.

The unsaid part is also if you are WFM expect to be treated differently from now on. Less or No promotions, more scrutinized, first on the downsizing list. I think its safe to say Quiet Layoffs are in full effect. The playbook is done at every company that has done return to office.


Being laid off would have been better

They eliminated my position and moved me into something completely different with zero training or support. No one ever explained what success looked like, no one checked in to see if I was managing. It feels less like a reassignment and more like they were setting me up to fail from day one. Six months later, I'm exhausted just trying to keep my head above water.


Hiring/offering freeze

Has anyone been affected by this while making an external or internal move. I spoke with a coworker of mine who was supposed to leave to another department but they are still here months after they were scheduled to leave. They said thier offer is frozen with no end date insight...is that normal?


Question About Rating of 2 and Internal Opportunities

For those who received a rating of 2 like I did at Aetna, are we still eligible to apply for internal positions? Also, how should we continue interacting with our manager after receiving this rating?

Should we be concerned about being terminated or placed on a layoff list first, or are employees with higher salaries typically more likely to be targeted during team reductions?


Chase SU-KS!

This company gives 0 f’s about any employee other than their bottom line my whole department laid off in February and they spew redeployment BS. Two decades working for them relocating many times across the country. Apply for 15 internal jobs and not one interview. Always had strong performance reviews. Landed a job quickly outside the firm so I guess take the severance and run.


Anyone in SRO?

I am and am a bit frustrated with the insane lack of US promotions and/or internal job openings... Sure, there are 5 openings that would bump me to the next level right now but, conveniently none are US based so they are useless. Not moving to Ireland for a 20k pay bump either lol. It'd cost me that much just to move.

Been here 6 years and I can't say I know a single US person who has been promoted yet. They are ALWAYS in India or Mexico or Ireland. ALWAYS!

The dude I shadowed while a contractor was an i8 who'd been there for 5 years already and is STILL an i8 - 10 years at the same grade level?


Confidentiality in Applying for a New Internal Role

Looking to switch to a different area within Truist. How confidential is the process? I received a decent performance review, but want to pursue an area more aligned with my degree. If I apply for another role internally, is my Manager given notice any point during the application OR interview process? Does anyone have insight into if, how, or when my current Manager may be notified?


Internal mobility

We are wrapping a big initiative and will be soon in enhancement mode.

And I'm not in same location as my manager and noticed we hired someone from other team who is in same location as bulk of the team.

While I feel this new person has a lot to learn I feel it seems like a tactic to replace.

I know I still have dependency in this team, if I try to switch via internal mobility can my manager stop the move citing dependency???


Is this a hint I will be laid off on Tuesday

Last Tuesday my toxic manager called me rambling about job opportunities in a certain group I should look at but when i asked her job numbers, titles etc..she just said look out there and she said not even sure there are openings in your hub but you know them so reach out. This manager also gave me my first ever IM in 29 years with no real reason so I know she targeted me because she does not like me. The last 2 1/2 years since she became my manager due to a reorg has been miserable. When she gave me IM, I told her at that time I would be looking at internal jobs but do not think she was trying to help me when she called me because there were no jobs even in the group she told me about because i asked around. She told the team a year ago she cannot tell us when she knows person will be laid off but will try to give a hint. I am going to be mad if it is the case but on the other hand will be a big relief to escape her and toxic environment. Big fear at 49 is i will have hard time finding something external. Do u think she is giving me a hint?


Does Dell give time to move internally ?

If your name is picked for layoffs, can you ask if you can get some time to try out applications for other teams ?

I know that FAANG has this policy. Curious if Dell does too.

This might help those who cannot get jobs elsewhere or might not want to relocate.


The farewell emails today were sad

Just a sad day for all those impacted. Some really good workers let go who have been here a long time. The rest are wondering when their turn will be.

25% of our department was cut and I only heard of one person finding a internal role in the 2 weeks. Good luck to everyone. This job doesn’t define who you are as a person.
