Got a "Data Analyst" job, but not using any relevant skills
I'm starting to feel some regrets accepting this job. I am fresh out of college and felt lucky to even have a job offer in this market, so I jumped on it. But after my 2nd week of training, I foresee my skills deteriorating while working in this role, because I'm not doing anything I've been told that data analysts do.
I don't have access to SQL or databases, that's work for some other people in some other office. Coding? Some other people on the team have made custom chrome extensions for the existing tools to make work more efficient, but no one on the "analyst" team has real access to anything the company builds. Dashboards and visuals? I'm not sure who makes those, but I don't think it's anyone on the team I've been hired on.
Mostly I feel like I've been hired into a misleadingly titled data annotation job, training in-house AI models that I will never get to touch myself, and being the human oversight before finalizing what's sent to clients.
Do you folks have any recommendations for how I can thrive in a position like this? I can always continue personal projects on my own time, but it would be nice if I could come up with some excuse to utilize my skills on the job itself. I also don't wanna bail and start looking for work again already and make myself look like a flake, I'd like to stay at least 2 years.
