I was in a digital strategy position, doing functional planning, wireframes, writing requirements - actual consulting - thought provoking work I liked, with website clients. Had some rough patches but did good work ever since. Company changed stuff around, title changed, very little strategy anymore and back to doing very basic work - solving problems, dropping everything to troubleshoot tech issues. Worst part is that I tried to tell people other regional teams are lacking a "me" and I'm cornered into my team, unable to work outside it. So those teams suffer. It's really crazy. It just made me realize I have so much more to offer. There has to be a place I can thrive in, learn in, pump my fist to be at. Would like to get involved with a strong start up or something, maybe more ad/digital agency work.
The thing that kills me is that recent full projects have gone really well. If you told those clients I was not doing that any more and was now doing low-level non-strategic tech/PM work, they would all probably be shocked.
- Feel the same way except i'm front-end design / brand strategy / branding work... So much value to offer my company yet they don't see it.d_rek
- company, yet they don't quite understand that.d_rek
- If you are like me, you think to yourself "they will miss me when I"m gone."TheGreatGlorpo
