is this tech job normal?
 

hi,

im currently a junior dev at a large tech company. pay sucks ( 4.2k ), no stocks, remote job.

previously i interned here back when i was in NTU comp science ( grad 2021 ) and the work was fun, i got to learn a lot of things and go to the office to meet teammates.

when they offered me a full-time conversion, i enjoyed my work so i took it... but when i came back as a fulltime, i found out im in a different team and cannot change... im isolated from this team, whatever task they doing im not involved. i dont know why... i asked to be involved and they just tell me to wait for new tasks but it never comes.

i work here for almost 6 months already and still no work to do. is this normal? i know im new so need onboard all those but for 6 months ?

should i just leave and find a new job? anyone else faced this issue?

What do you think

Talk to your direct manager, otherwise quit. Don’t waste another 6 months.

Completely normal for newbie....
its call working university,w e have those IMDA CLT 1 yr contract fresh grad do nothing for the whole year. They were not involved in any production work, only attend training and doing "Testing" work.

not normal, you should be up and running in 3 mths

not for fresh grad, that is mid career job change

if you are not being exposed to meaningful work in 3 mths , you will not be any different in 6-9mths

what do you mean?

my role is a full-time junior position btw, it's not a contract or a program ..

yea i tried talking to my manager but she say "take it slow, you are still new, i want u slowly onboard"

but its been 6 months... i already know most of the code base and stuffs. i told her that also and she just tell me wait.. lol

agreed , most of my friends all started working with team after 1-2 weeks or 1-2 months
