I’m underemployed and bored at work. I had to take my current FTE job because my contract was ending and I needed health insurance. I’m not even a year into my role and already concerned about growth opportunity.

Furthermore, my boss has issues delegating meaningful work because he is extraordinarily picky about how he wants things done.

How can I deal with this? I don’t want to job search again nor jump ship in this economy. Is that my only option?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
