Hi Guys, Please help 🥺
I've joined ibm during Feb 2022 and assigned to a project on March.
I'm ABAP developer but doing data validation production support for one of the big client.
I don't like the work and also can say my tech lead is not happy for my deliverables.

Need advice on how to get a release from the project which I've worked for 4 months. And also wanted to know would this impact career in IBM?..


Thank you.
