How to switch to Development from support project?
Hi, 24M working in one of the WITCH having 1.3 years of experience total. I've graduated from Tier-3 engineering college in 2021. Last year joined through off campus. I have worked on two short term projects, one is Migration and done basic scripting as development experience there, In second one done manual testing work. In March this year, my second project got completed and I got release from project. I was on bench for few days after that I got a support project which initially i thought I can do some enhancement work here, but utter disappointment this project is, 97% tickets here are Access requests and maximum work of 2 hrs daily. I don nothing apart from mailing clients n shiet and sometimes call with clients. I got frustrated because of this.
Now, If I ask for release from this project now, will they accept it? Or will it impact my year end rating, I'm getting afraid now. Please help me what should I do.
I came across this some time back, and might be helpful for you: https://workat.tech/general/article/switch-service-based-companies-product-based-companies-ogtimx0i73bc

Fake it till you make it, put fake experience on your resume, learn tech stacks, prepare interview questions, ask your friends what they do in an actual project and make that your story.
If you are spending a total of 2 hrs a day, you can prepare for CAT if you're interested in mgmt.
Or, you can work on your skills and apply elsewhere.
