Seeking advice on what to do career wise.

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire. Feeling like this position isn’t for me, not fully enjoying what I’m doing, don’t feel like my coworkers value my work/me (I only work with men), and feeling like I am not getting adequate opportunities to grow my knowledge/experience in the work I do and also cross-department opportunities.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

Need a space to vent...I spend hours and hours putting together an actionable, creative + platform-first positioning, bring my creative partner into the process, outline specific content buckets, and creatives come back with a totally off-the-wall concept. I ask them how it ties to the strategy, they give a bad answer. We go to into the IR and the account director tells them nicely to try again and align to the strategy. Why do I put so much effort into a strategy that will just be ignored?
