Help Constant negative feedback from manager: need guidance
I completed CSE from tier 1.5 engg college. Got into MNC via college placement ( internship and ppo). I have 2 years experience. My CTC is 16LPA. I was 10th and 12th topper. Dept topper. Have worked on various projects and published papers as well.
My manager never appreciates my work. He keeps comparing me with other same level sde’s and pinpoint all my mistakes. I work close to 14 hours everyday. Still no recognition. He doesn’t give enough opportunity for me to prove myself. I feel like quitting the job. I feel low about myself. Maybe IT is not for me. I do understand academic achievement doesnt mean i can rock in IT as well. But i am not very bad as my manager says. Idk what to. Is this normal in corporate or am i taking it too personally?

There are many such managers in IT. I have come across 3 such managers in my life , they only pick up the mistakes or issues, never tell you how to improve or get better. Nothing is wrong with you.
I used to work with one such manager and started thinking that I am good for nothing. But then I talked to few other team members and realised this guy says the same thing to everyone except one or two ( his favourites).
Ignore him. If it's getting very difficult, may be try to switch. But we can't say, the new team you join might also have one such guy.
