Low-key what do I gotta do to get anywhere in my career?
My background and tl;dr.
Bachelors in Informatik, Masters in Data Science. Couple of internships, working my first ever full-time job in a Big4 in Germany. Audit department for what it's worth.
I HATE IT. The work is bullshit, nothing I was promised, and not at all interesting (mundane Excel shit), which I can live with, cause I need a job, and figured Big4 is at least a good starting point.
I've been here almost two years now, and low-key I hate it even more now. I tried to show initiative, developed an entire goddamn all by myself while working only for that to go nowhere. As with everything else, empty words from Management about AI this, innovation that, German data sovereignty up everybody's ass during the monthly team meetings.
At this point I have zero expectations left considering all my attempts for anything led nowhere.
I'm hanging on because I've seen what happens to people who quit before having another job lined up.
But I honestly don't know what to do or how to plan ahead; if I can leverage my time at the Big4 or if I have to just go back to basically mass spamming job apps.
