Just A Dumb Rant

So I shifted companies from one where I was pretty much your Harvey Specter to my current organisation where idk what they’re doing with me. Pretty sure the intern there does more meaningful work than me.

I only switched cause the previous organisation was sinking and it was advised all of us jump ships before it gets too late. Sacrificed a position change and still stuck in the same role I was slogging my ass off for the last 1.5 Years.

The current organisation promised us a lot before we got in and after we joined we realised that a known devil was better than an unknown angel. 75% of the team quit in 2 months and what was now a team of 75 has prob shrunk to a 100 with a lot of people moving down a role. Me on the other hand they have just put me on failing program to the next without any clear idea or direction and they don’t take or implement any suggestion that I give.

Don’t know what to do and feeling really frustrated as this was supposed to be the “next step” in my career but now it feels like the whole damn staircase has fallen apart. Planning to put down my papers tomorrow and just become another second gen trust fund baby looking after his family business as I don’t think I can waste more years in this corporate rat race.

I've gone from an org which gave me bad work and was toxic to an org where I am the Harvey of my team.

Learning: An org with a good environment that lets you do good work and promotes you is better than any CTC or position upgrade you get for long term career growth.

Completely agree. As much as CTC matters nothing will actually motivate you to log in , slog your ass off on a routine basis like a good work culture. End of the day you spend most of your active life at your work place rather than anywhere else. So it’s very important that you’re doing something you like doing at a place you like going to with people you like working with.

It’s not too bad to start looking after your family business. You shouldn’t look down upon it.

Oh. I don’t look down upon it at all cause that’s my end goal. To take it and scale it further.

I’m doing these jobs atm to gain some corporate experience and understand how things work.

Apart from that it’s a whole “I want to see if I can survive on my own” kinda mentality or whatever.

No point wasting time doing something you eventually want to give up (unless you have a clear plan)
