Currently working in Admin Services and I hate the culture can’t stand being treated like a servant. Literally went from doing actual client work where I was respected to getting paid to fetch coffee and water. (Not joking) I enjoy the company but my current role is demeaning. Any suggestions on how I can exit admin services? I’ve applied for several positions. However it’s starting to feel like I just won’t get the opportunity to do something challenging. My degree is in Criminal Justice and I’m currently finishing my project management certification. My HR manager is aware of my desire to move and suggested I network. Any other suggestions.

Office administration is not demeaning. People may be demeaning towards you and you may be overqualified, but the work is honest work.

OP - what was your client serving practice? And how/why did you end up as an admin?

Thank you for the suggestions I’m using them now!

That’s just my opinion SrMgr1 I don’t see the value in wasting company time to go on coffee runs. Pretty sure I can add value doing work that actually impacts the bottom line. I know plenty of admin staff that have worked in the same department for 30 years and they are unhappy. A lot of it is due to the meaningless work. But honestly for me I just really want to wake up each day to a new challenge. I don’t have an accounting or finance background. I actively take elearns to increase my knowledge I just feel like maybe I’m missing a step I can take.

Actually was recruited from banking for a pilot program here. Ended up moving across the country took a new role that just isn’t at all what was explained. 8 of my team members have left team so far this team was created a year ago. The whole idea of growth opportunities got me in door. Unfortunately I didn’t anticipate this and just really want to make a smart move going forward.

Are you in mAC? And which office are you based out of? That may determine the best way you can network and look for other opportunities

There are a bunch of great tours of duty open - most with oppy for full time - have a look!

Client services at Pwc? Or elsewhere

Client services at PwC... check out internally and put GDM in the search field...

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
