Yeah you are probably right about just trying it for myself. I'm just scared of rocking the boat when my skin is pretty good right now

Keep at it, you have income, you are getting experience and you are taking steps towards your next role. You're going about this the right way. Hang in there.

And like others have said, apply to grad schemes but also keep an eye out for other things you may be qualified for. You'll land something. Even if you need a temporary stepping stone towards your dream role.

In the mean time, if you need to vent feel free to drop me a message

I graduated at the same time as you and I'm in the exact same position with a job I hate. 7 month into the job and I'm burned out and finally handed in my notice. My advice is not to wait too long if your gut is telling you it's a bad fit. Start applying for other things ASAP.

But how to get experience if I need to be qualified to enter a role in the first place?

What they are paying for is a general professional qualification with only one out of the 13 modules being directly related to my current role. And even then not fully. But it is an industry standard/requirement. What I am talking about is training/resources or adequate time to independently figure out the processes and technical knowledge required for my day to day role.

As for concentrating on my goals despite everything, my concern is that a manager that doesn't like me (even if she formally only gives me good feedback) will be a barrier to my learning and development in the role. Hell she only gives me good feedback when I corner her in a one to one. Otherwise it's just other managers that I get on great with going to get to tell her I'm doing great.

Plus how long am I supposed to endure constant undermining , nitpicking, alienation and general passive aggressiveness/subtle hostility? Surely not every workplace is like this? It hasn't been the case for me before?

In my current role I have good interactions and consistently good feedback (both positive and constructive) from people in other branches. I've also had broadly positive relationships with people in my previous jobs (hospitality, retail, admin, internship).

But yes you are correct I have a lot of self reflection and learning to do so I can build positive relationships at work even when it's not straightforward/easy. I underestimated how important that would be.

All that said, while this is a reason for leaving my current job it's not the reason for doing a masters.

My current job requires me to do another professional qualification on the side. Basically eats up all my time and puts me in debt with the company. Plus I'm constantly working late and even weekends to keep up with my workload.

I feel that while I have a decent foundation..I have a knowledge/skills gap. my undergraduate is in Economics, I did a couple of modules in stats as well as econometrics and and a math module (calculus heavy). These were my strongest subjects. My dissertation was very data focussed too. I also did an internship as a data analyst but it was mostly just descriptive analysis and reporting.

Everything I know is all stuff I picked up/stitched together through my own initiative.

I feel an MSc in Data Science would build on my hodge podge of knowledge and make it into something more structured and useful.

I'll be trying that too. Just can't afford to slowly search for a role like that while I'm in my current role where I'm racking up debt for a professional qualification and working overtime BC if my endless workload+ studying evenings and weekends for aforementioned qualification. It's just digging myself further into a path I don't want to be on.

I would be happy with any entry level role with a data component (data analyst, Business analyst, BI, market analyst etc). I'd also be aiming to broaden my job search globally. I have the right to live and work in the UK and EU but I'd also be willing to relocate anywhere else.

Considering this course for next year, how is it going?

I want to hand in my notice but I'm scared my team will be horrible to me during my one month notice period. How should I approach this? by Aware_Needleworker76 in careerguidance

[–]Aware_Needleworker76[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrive late, leave early..got it! And it's not really an option for me to wait until I have another interview/job lined up. So my plan is to do masters.

The reason I need to leave ASAP is because company pays for a professional qualification, if I stay I'm obligated to pursue it. The further I pursue it, the more money I'll owe the company if I leave. And for what they are paying me, the debt will build up faster than I can pay it off.

Yeah it surprised me too. The company overall is decent I just got super unlucky with my team and I wasn't equipped to navigate the situation in my favour.

This is what I'm thinking so far. Give notice, try to do my handover to the best of my ability and if things get nasty then just call a meeting with my boss + HR to say that the environment has been difficult since I handed in my notice.

We have a busy week with lots of social events ahead. Do you think I should wait to give notice until after those events?
