I recently accepted a full-time permanent job as an administrative assistant, but I'm starting to regret that decision. My salary is around $48,000, which has led to some criticism about my living situation. I co-own a two-bedroom condo with my father, and while the total rent is $2,500, I only contribute about $500 a month, with my father covering the rest. I also share expenses with my boyfriend. Despite having this support, I have debt and other financial obligations, and I want to be financially independent. I have over five years of professional experience in administrative roles, including positions as an Executive Administrative Assistant and logistics administrator. Before this job, I was unemployed for a few months after my previous contract ended. I accepted this position because it seemed like a good opportunity to build on my skills and gain exposure to different departments, despite knowing the salary and commute would be challenging. However, the reality of the job has been disappointing. My role is split between reception and administrative support, but I find that I'm spending most of my time on basic tasks like scanning documents and organizing files. I expected to take on more complex responsibilities, especially given my background. I've reached out to my manager for more work, but the workload isn't consistent, and I feel like I'm not getting the professional development I anticipated. It's frustrating to think I might have taken a step back in my career for a job that doesn't meet my expectations.
