So, it’s been nearly 3 months since I started my first full-time job. Time flies. Feel like I’ve settled in now. I like the environment, and my colleagues – most people say you can’t be “friends” with your colleagues, not really, but I’m lucky I ended up with a great bunch of people, all relatively new like me, and I do consider them as pretty good friends now. But the work… not so much.
I feel like I’m in a dead-end job, tbh. No career progression at all. The “skills” I’m learning here are not transferable at all. Which wouldn’t be a problem, if I’m happy staying in a job with okay salary and happy not doing anything “meaningful” or “useful”. But I’m not, not really. And best part of it all is that the role I applied for and interviewed for ISN’T THE ROLE I ENDED UP GETTING. And nobody in the company informed me of this – not when I came to sign the contract, not when they called to offer me the role – until my first day of reporting. So yeah, I do feel kinda cheated and resentful about that.
I’ll stay, though, at least for a year and a half. Where I end up after, who knows.
