I joined a commercial project thinking the work would be exactly what I wanted to do. Now, I’m realizing it’s not. I haven’t been on board long and not sure if and how I should leave. Embrace the challenge or bounce? Trying to avoid burning bridges.

What type of project would you have done otherwise if not commercial?? From my experience, you should absolutely stay. Unless the firm asks you to leave one project to join another, you run the risk of developing a reputation as unreliable, which will unfortunately stay with you. Not to mention, how can you even know what the work is unless you have been in it long enough? If that’s your rationale, one might make assumptions that you are rash, short-sighted, or impulsive - none of which are strong characteristics.

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
