Anyone else moon lighting here ?
Curious to know if you've legitimately declared it to your core job peers and if yes how are you balancing ?
What I know is if i can be a manager at a regular office and yet have my own start up venture(s) on various other skills, it shouldn't ideally conflict but some HR do poke in between
Anyone from Accenture India ?

I think it depends how large this portion of your work is and how relevant it is to your tasks. For example, when I finish a projects designs I have to do background paperwork for specs/requirements. I hate it, it feels redundant, and doesn’t require my engineering expertise. However it’s directly correlated to the work that I completed, and there’s no one to just delegate it to. Even if I went elsewhere I’d still have to do this process.
If you’re in a position where you feel maybe you want a position/field change that would focus on something else, go ahead and start for what that may be or applying. If maybe it’s something you can’t avoid, but goes hand in hand with the aspects of the job that you do need and enjoy, stick through it and see how it goes for a bit.
Exactly. What they said ☝🏼
I’m in the same boat and I’m TENACIOUSLY trying to leave. I’m in product marketing—my manager doesn’t know what it is, and has me running ads and writing ad copy and doing SEO, none of which I was hired to do/have ever done/is in my role description/do I want to do. I’ve gone to HR to tell them that this isn’t aligned with the job description for this role in any part of the business & she said it’s my managers decision how she defines my role. Which makes no freaking sense. But yeah, bye.
Wow.
I don't think you're crazy. If it is making you unhappy, and these functions were not discussed during the hiring process, then I feel you should find a position that aligns with your career preferences.
My role shifted to include a function that I am not particularly thrilled about and it accounts for about 25% of my time. I'm sticking it out though until I finish my MBA, then I will start looking elsewhere.
I'm so happy to see you post this today. My position has shifted several times and ultimately I'm doing a lot of executive work at a not very executive salary. I'm currently working on finishing my degree and I keep telling myself just x amount of months and I can start looking every time that I feel like I can't take it anymore. I need this, thank you.
I don't disagree with the comments, but... 1. We all have some parts of our jobs that we don't love. 2. How long have you been there? Sometimes, we have to feel things out for a few months before jumping. We adapt to change at different speeds and often become accustomed to the different tasks as time goes by.
Just keep those things in mind as you work through your decision.
If you don’t like it find something else first. Then approach the manager about the issue and if she’s not willing to make a change then leave. Work is the largest part of our lives. It’s important that we are happy in our careers.
I feel this happens in every job. Either glossed over in the job description or never mentioned. However, if it’s a dominant task that’s always needed but wasn’t mentioned? I would def bring it up. Even after we are in the position. You hear many times people complain about new work or someone’s work who was laid off. It’s a new job as well. Guess it depends on how marketable you are with landing something new.
Depends on how long you’ve been there. I find most new jobs are miserable around 3 months and then slowly improve. Sometimes, hating a particular task is because you haven’t mastered it yet.
