After 1.5 YOE at PwC, facing unfair PIP revision. Looking for SDE roles

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working at PwC with ~1.5+ YOE. Over the past year and a half, I’ve put in a lot of effort on my projects, working on SQL/PLSQL, APIs, backend integrations, and reporting systems within the Oracle ecosystem.

A few months ago I was placed on a PIP. I worked through the evaluation period, addressed the feedback, and the outcome was initially marked “Satisfactory” in Workday, indicating I had cleared it.

However, about two weeks later, I received communication that the result had been revised to “Unsatisfactory.” This was honestly very shocking and disheartening, especially after putting in consistent effort and seeing the system already reflect a successful completion earlier. It’s difficult to process a situation like this after investing so much time and energy into the role.

For the past 1+ year, I’ve also been actively preparing for Backend / Software Development Engineer roles — focusing on DSA, backend concepts, and problem solving, since that’s the direction I want my career to grow in.

Given the current situation, I’m actively looking for Backend / SDE opportunities. My experience includes SQL, PL/SQL, APIs, backend integrations, along with strong focus on DSA.

If anyone knows of open roles or can help with referrals, I would really appreciate it. Happy to share my resume via DM.

Thank you 🙏
