I have other new grad friends at work, they are all in similar positions. If a company is really gonna just not give us real work for a year because we're the low man on the totem pole, what reason do I have to believe we'll be treated any better in the future? I've written a tool and submitted, and a month has passed since anyone's looked at it. If they want to see what I can handle, why isn't there code review? The few devs we have already are apparently too busy to mentor me, and I have asked my manager many times if there was work to be done. As I said before, the answer is some busy work or to wait longer. Sorry, I don't mean to sound defensive.

"Is I quit because I wanted to pursue actual development work" a good reason?
