What type of project?

Same

Preach

Same here. Have tried for months

As an analogy, it’s like I went to school to learn how to paint and then I worked on paintings professionally for 5 years after graduation. Now, instead of painting, I need to write reports about the history of painting. It’s kinda relevant, but I just want to paint. Been writing reports for the last 6 months with no end in sight. Give me a brush, not a pen.

I accepted the offer and started working for this agency and now 6 months in they are asking me also do Wireframes and Content planning together with a project manager role as their team is super small and they do not have dedicated ux/ui and seo members in place.I said that is not my part of the job and parted.

Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)
