I’m in a role where my work or contribution are not recognized (very mundane and support heavy). Have you seen team members placed in an unfavorable role like this? How do you make the best of a role like this?

I'm not sure what your expectations were, but grunt work is what's expected at your level. If you think there are greener pastures elsewhere, find them and then go there. You'll probably be disappointed.

Are they your manager? Then maybe. Are they your peer that's dumping on you? Then no. But a lot of projects have a lot of boring, grueling grunt work and that's just going to be part of the job. The project will end or you'll move to a new project or you'll find a new job. This is just a season.

If you don’t see organic opportunities to go beyond the calling, smarter idea is use the time you get free to get involved in meaningful and impactful firm initiatives

Are you new at your role or more experienced? Is it a role just for your current project or your role in general?

Do you feel like you have the experience and skill set to ask for something else?
