Give it a bit longer and see. Work can be cyclical.
I knew right away in my last job that it wasn’t for me but tried to stick around and it took a horrible toll on my mental health. If it’s not right for you and there are other opportunities you can jump on instead I’d leave.
I agree with you, Media Supervisor 1. In my last role I knew early on it wasn’t a fit but I was worried about the optics of leaving a role too soon. Ended up suffering for 10 months, becoming incredibly depressing and apathetic. Was it worth it? Fuck no. I flushed nearly a year of my life down the toilet being anxious and depressed. If I could go back I would have quit the first month. Trust yourself.
Sounds dumb but try to see the brighter parts of the gig. Can you collaborate with different ADs/designers? Do some proactive work. Can you learn something from your CDs? Do they have something to offer? Is there a client that could have some potential work? Are the people nice? If all of it doesn’t make you happy, leave. You are not defined by your job title. I hope you find what you’re looking for, Copywriter :-)
Is there anything you CAN gain from this role if you stick it out for another 8 months to a year? Is there a possibility for internal movement? Check the HR policy, but some allow you to transfer after 6 months.
If none of those apply, doesn’t hurt to look, but don’t jump without having a solid gig lined up. Otherwise you could end up in a similar place in the ‘wrong role’.
