Welcome to the industry, you are a professional now.
As a freshman in a moderately sized company, the projects you are given are a way for them to assess you. Do them well. Observe what problems are being solved and what aren't? Is there a process that can be improved? Go build it. Satisfying your work is a stepping stone to building expertise and will enable you to demand better tasks. This is based on what I experienced http://hkelkar.com/2013/01/01/being-craftsman/ http://hkelkar.com/2013/01/01/being-craftsman/.
You can always learn on your own, coursera, projects on github etc. If you still think you are not learning, then most certainly move. Good luck!
- idunno246 13y agoThis. A lot of work isn't sexy, and some amount of time will be spent doing tasks like these no matter where you're at. If you don't prove that you can do these tasks well, we wouldn't trust you with the harder stuff. Another benefit is this gives you a wider understanding of the different parts of the system.
- oebi 13y agoI agree that work isn't all sexy. That said, I've also seen places where they don't want you to do harder/more interesting stuff, they just need those boring tasks to be done with. And if you're any good at it, chances are they'll leave them to you. It's much more rewarding to do the required boring unexciting stuff at a place where you take (or know you will take) a part in the bigger picture. Not saying that you shouldn't stick through because I agree that there is always something to learn, especially at the beginning. That said, look out for opportunities to grow - either inside or outside your company. Don't settle in boredom land.
