I work at a large company as an entry level swe. I was hired as part of a new grad program, and did a few months of training before starting my role.
I am not currently on a team. I was told they would be announcing new teams in fall but nothing has happened.
I have been told to do trainings, but there is only so much of them I can do. I have been given a simple project, but I completed it in 3 days. I contact people about expanding it but they don’t reply to me, they’re too busy. My relationships at work are basically nonexistent, because I don’t really work with anyone.
I mentioned that I would like to take on more projects but was told to be patient. I am starting to dread going into the office, the days are just so long. Should I keep waiting or should I look for something else? I don’t know how I can make this bearable. I still am very lucky to have a job, but this is starting to wear on me.
My problem is that I suck at bullshitting so if that job ever ended and I got laid off I’d be going to interviews and people would be asking what I did in my last job, and I’d just sit there with my brain encouraging me to say “well I was a very active commenter on a small online forum for leftists.”
