Graduated with STEM degree 4 years ago and worked in financial services as a technical business analyst for 3 years. I made the mistake of accepting a role that has absolutely NO growth potential and has become a roadblock in my career.
I’m firing away applications for roles I’m qualified for and getting no response. I’d like to pivot to Salesforce and get an Admin very but I’m afraid the market will be oversaturated and the same will happen. I’m at a loss here with what to do.
