Got a apprenticeship at a 'great' company which has high job security. However the job is nothing like the description, the work is very boring, and their have been many broken promises (offered degree then they changed mind last minute).
I am wondering what to do? I do not enjoy it at all but the security is there, I am trying to keep option open by finishing my qualification and learning as many skills as possible. What would you do in this situation, best to wait it out and then jump ship?

Personally I would leave and find another profession that is more inline with what you want to do all day long… otherwise if you’re a mope everyday, you’ll likely end up being fired at some point…

Job security based on company name and reputation is pure myth. At IBM I worked along side many colleagues with 20+ years of tenure, yet here I sit unemployed for the past 6 months after 4 years of successful quota attainment.

Don't quit before you find a new job. Certainly upskill and finish certifications. Anyway to expand what you do? What would make it interesting? How can you maximize this experience while looking for a better job?

Worse they say We'll check or get back to you. But never come back. Luckily I got selected into a tier-1 company and their Recruiter ignored me once 😂. I am gonna personally meet that recruiter on Day1.

I see recently due to market demand there are raining jobs even for less than 10 yoe getting above 25 lpa is it safe for the job security in terms of long term serving the company ,am afraid of getting laid off in future whats your thought or advuce on this?

What do you do to prep for an interview with the hiring manager? If it’s a new industry for you, do you research applicable laws/regulations?

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
