Hi, folks I am working as market research analyst at a startup company for last 9 months. Currently I am feeling work is kinda boring and also there is no scope for growth and learn new things in the company.Is it's better work at the same company to gain some experience or leave company and join MBA course so that I will get better placement in big companies where I can learn new things.

Probably not, to be honest. My guess is that this is affecting everybody, not just you. You can always try but I doubt they will be open to negotiations if you've already been there a month.

That’s fair, yes it is affecting everyone
Can't hurt to ask, but you're probably SOL. Pulling a bait and switch like that is really scummy of them. I'd be pissed. Bet all your new coworkers are too.

Yeah, sentiment overall is not very positive. Thank you for the reality check tho - it does feel like I’m sol
Ye olde bait and switch. There's nothing you can do but move on to a different company. Particularly since you're new and just accepted an offer, it's just as easy for them to see you out.

Very fair….thank you!
A change in benefits isn’t really a bait & switch. These things are negotiated in advance. Nobody wants to screw employees when it comes to healthcare and coverage but sometimes it happens contracts have to be renegotiated and the terms just change. Sometimes favorably and sometimes unfavorably. The good thing is healthcare is something that can be changed and if enough people speak up about their dissatisfaction then HR is likely to take a look at try to negotiate better rates for next year or get into a different contract. It’s sucks to have benefits change like that after you’ve started but this could’ve happened anywhere. And again, they didn’t do this to you—it’s happening to the company.

Appreciate the perspective, it does feel a little bait and switch to me but I see the point that for others it’s not that since they have been here longer. Will definitely reach to hr to express feelings and see if that does anything
