Hello Everyone,

I am a fresher in the field and I have worked for a startup for 6 months as a Graphic Designer. I left that job as I was feeling stuck and helpless as the only person working in graphics there and no one to guide me, while being underpaid. Though now I have left I don’t know if I should continue in the Creative field or shift my career path to another department. I would love to talk with someone who is experienced in the field for advice.

Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that you had such an experience in your first job. As for quitting the creative field, you shouldn't do that because of one such experience you will surely find a better job more suited for your caliber. Even I had to switch a job in 2 months because I wasn't able to be the best creative person I can be so it may be because I wasn't compatible enough with the fir and that's something similar happening with you. So I'll suggest get back on job hunting andwhileg you do that keep upgrading your skills
