Hello everybody,
So this may be long, if you spend the time to read this and have some input I'd really really appreciate it.
It's regarding my current position.
I'm not happy here, I feel like I'm wasting time and not learning anything useful.
When I started working at Cargil like two years ago in Tier3 Help Desk and building machines, it was hard at first because it was my first corporate gig however I loved it, I learned a lot, it opened my mind, I never knew how the other business side worked with IT. I then got moved to the Infrastructure area where I learned so much more.
Unfortunately, TCS Consulting took over so we all got laidoff and I found a job (thankfully right before I was laid off) at BBY.
It was supposed to be a Technical Support position, they mentioned SharePoint, admin stuff etc.
They hired two people, the other guy has been here at BBY for ten years however he was an end user.
We're now on the admin side.
The problem is now that I've finally figured out what my role is (which is managing sharepoint sites, creating info path forms, etc)
I"m not liking it at all, sure I"m learning stuff.
However I feel like this is not me, I feel like I'm wasting my skill or my potential.
This is more of a business technical role than an IT technical role, there's such a huge difference.
I"m working with the Marketing team. It's hard to leave because everyone here is amazing, my manager is like a friend, everyone is so cool and chill.
My contract was 4 months and it just got extended until the end of the year.
I spent 90% of my day chilling not doing any work because I"m so bored.
I used to be hard working at Cargill, I knew what my goal was, I worked all day and actually moved up in the company faster than anyone else.
Over here I feel like my skills aren't being used.
I am very thankful for having a job, so I hope you guys don't think I"m ungrateful, I'm very thankful, the salary is amazing however I'd rather take a pay cut and do something I loved doing and learning.
Me and my co worker are both just chilling barely doing anything.
Sorry about such a long post.
I know the easy answer is to just leave but man it's so touch to start searching all over again...
