Ok, Let me make this easy for this. You are in customer service area. We cannot learn tech things over here. What we can do, we can improve our communication skills and communication does not mean, I can create a label for you or I can issue a refund or replacement. Communication is when you are able to speak on any topic regarding to your work, growth etc infront of leadership team with confidence. Apart from this, try to do something different or something in addition which will make you diffrent from others. There are thousands of us who are taking and chats but what you are doing different or what you are doing apart from taking chats will make you different from others. This could be doing some projects, collecting contact IDs on a repeative issue. Make sure to connect with your manger regularly. People will call you chamcha but don't worry about them. Hmmm..and after 1 to 2 years start applying to other organisations. This is the time to nourish yourself. Spend some time on yourself..learn excel. I guess this is all Gyan I can give to you.

Thank you 😊

You can take experience from it and then start applying in your field.

Is there a recommended path here? Long one, finished in the comments.

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments

Can I be a creative leader without managing?
