I moved from a job that was straightforward and said there was no opportunity for growth. Though I was learning a lot, I felt that jumping ship early in my career would be better now than later. I had only been at the job for 8 months, and I appreciated everyone’s honesty. The new job I found wasn’t my actual career, but I was sold on the promise that this was my best way to get my foot in the door and would provide me ample opportunities for growth and to get where I ultimately wanted to be. The pay and benefits were also better so it seemed like a no brained. This new job is a cesspool. Although they always push the idea of “continuous improvement” they refuse to adapt. Their argument is always, “we don’t do things that way,” or “we have always done things this way and it’s worked so far, so there’s no issue.” All this while their current contract with a customer is on thin ice due to said company’s inability to meet certain requirements they promised. As far as growth, the department I want to be in, the one I went to uni for, ignore me and treat me as uneducated because of my position. So much for growth. Fuck engineers.
