Unregistered | I guess sometimes we have to compromise, there is no such thing as ideal job (good pay, good env, good boss). But if it's really against your beliefs then just leave bah. | |

My advice is to really moderate your expectations than to find out that actually the same thing happens everywhere. Evaluate the areas in your current job that you can learn and grow in, then focus on them rather than the bad things. Like it or not, as a fresh graduate, you will always be the lowest in the food chain as you start your career and ppl will pile you with work that is either of low value, or too tedious for the rest. But the ones who can bite the bullets, show versatility and resiliency are usually the ones who will gain invaluable experience and move up the food chain. Too often, I have seen fresh graduates job hop in search of that holy grail. My advice is, there is no holy grail. Many times, they realized it too late when their peers start moving up and they are still job hopping looking for entry level positions. |

44998684 Don't quit without another job. Just start searching for a new job now while you are still working. |

Same batch as u two. I only got a job offer after 5mths of searching, accepted it due to desperation. Hated it two weeks into in (for the job scope, pay, prospects and working env). Decided no point roughing it out and hope it will get better, left the following wk. Took me another 2 mths before getting another offer, fortunately, everything turns out better than the prev one. So my advice is just quit right away, dont waste another day going to work, hating every seconds of the day, and know all along life isnt gg to be better tmr. Sure, interviewers will qn why u quit in such a short period, but just ans truthfully. If they judge u as a quitter just because of that, it's a sign that the company isnt gg to be a great place to work in. Unemployment sucks, u will get nagged by family and looked down by "friends". But it's just a matter of time. Not saying we shld wait forever to get our dream job, but we shldnt take up a job u hate or one u dont see urself in the long term, just because u have been jobless for a "long time" (2 mths...). Take up to a year to search if need to. Meanwhile, take it u're doing a gap year. U dont have to travel. U can just volunteer locally, travel cheaply to neghbouring countries, pick up a new hobby, write sth. In short, just quit immediately! |

aplover | you guys should just start finding a job immediately and not put this current job as experience. Just say you were jobless during that period. | |
