Nothing to do at work for part 3 months
Advertisements
I am in an IT consultancy / implementation firm as an entry level analyst making ~5k/ month. Recently I got assigned to a project with nothing much to do beside reply a few emails/ talking to people.
I have to go to office 100% but I work less than 2hrs out of 40hrs in a week. Others time I spend listening to audiobooks/ podcast.
Need advice on should I find something to do or enjoy while I can?

- 50% of job scope in consultancy is to look busy. If you want to stay in this industry, start training. E.g. meet people for coffee, network, self learning etc
- Weird flex but I think you’ve got a dream job to be paid a decent salary for doing not really much. Congratulations?
- Insane how people have a problem with this… This is a literal dream job
- Take the chance to get a Masters or do post grad courses since you have the time. If they don’t promote you, look for greener pastures. You win either ways
- Learn a new skill, something that can value add to your work, ask for more work if needed? But maybe if there’s something that really interests you and you have a good chunk of free time you can work through that, and get paid
- Both, find something to do and enjoy. Slot in workout sessions during lunch break.
- Take a part time degree or masters to upskill yourself.
Then you can study and do your homework/project during office hours. - Company still hiring ?
- Ya sia, that seems like a dream come true job
- Is it really tho? Few weeks ago there was a UX designer complaining about how tough to find a job in SG due to oversaturation
