Let me know if I’m being too hasty. So it’s been 4 months since I started this job, but within those four months, the role of what I was hired to do and the team I was brought into have changed. It was no longer about creating the work. It was about fixing the holes to keep the business afloat week after week without any let-up. My original team has either been moved off to another account, removed completely, or put their two weeks in, especially my partner! Its making me want to jump ship too.

If you’re not liking where you’re at, start looking for you next thing. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been there. You don’t owe these companies anything

Don’t jump ship without having another opportunity lined up. If you’re not feeling stimulated, consider these options:

1. Work on your own side project.
2. Generate ideas for your clients, even if they get turned down. This will help sharpen your skills.

A. Men. Great advice.

Talk to your manager and work on creating a plan to get back on track with the responsibilities you were hired for. If that role is not realistic work with your manager to redefine the role. Take the lead in defining and managing your priorities. Show that you are a team player, but also look out for your own career objectives. At the same time, start looking for a new job - have a backup plan.

If you have a better option, jump ship.

I’ve regretted the times I got an offer days into a new job and didn’t take it. I left my last job after 6 months and have been at the current one for 3 years. Best decision ever.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
