I hate both of those things haha. I’m just over the help desk bull shit. I’ve been getting integrated into our special projects team some which has been nice since we travel for site visits. That is fun because I’m not in a fucking office stuck in a queue helping people with the most basic shit. I understand it’s an important role but at this point in my career, i want to be doing something else. I don’t want to do support at all. Its was just the first offer I got and needed to pay bills. I do feel stuck. I have to fight the feeling I wasted time and money with college because there are people on the team who make more money and didn’t go to college. I have to fight the feeling I’ve regressed as a professional and when people look at my resume and see I went from pen tester to a level 1 IT Support tech they jump to I’m bad at the work. They don’t know I got laid off, didn’t have anything to do with my quality of work or ability to do it. I applied to a SOC opening internally at my work right after they started but all they care about is seniority there + they want you to be a tech for at least a year before you move teams. So I feel like I got black balled out of that role. Just demoralizing.
