Uhh… I was looking for that one confessions channel. I digress,
I’m an intelligent guy with strong technical aptitude but limited experience. I’m resourceful.
However, for my first staffed assignment I was placed as a developer in the middle of an ongoing project in the development phase.
I have never used the technology they’re leveraging, nor embellished my resumé in any way to mislead them into believing I had.
Anyways, they just assigned me a task and I’m lost af.
Help?

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet.
