Lack of feedback from your manager about your work is a communication problem within your team. It may be the issue with your manager or it can be wider - general dysfunction of the organization. No matter where the source of the problem is you should try to talk with your boss about your feelings (lack of feedback, feeling lost) and ask him to help you to find the way out. It is quite possible the manager isn't aware of the situation and as far as you don't express it clearly it will las unchanged.<BR/><BR/>2. There is another possibility here. It might have been wrong decision to choose this job. However I wouldn't be quick in labeling it as a dead end or a mistake. I don't know how long you are on the BA position, but it's usually hard to judge fairly the role after just a couple of months. If I were you I would ask myself if I could see me doing the job in the perspective of a year from now. If I could find enjoyment in everyday work. If I can label the job as the one which pushes me further. It is hard to suggest you the answer but with the information (definitely not sufficient) you've provided I'd say the chances are good that it isn't the dead end.<BR/><BR/>Generally, I'd try to fix current situation (or die trying). It's quite possible you'll be able to achieve that. If that didn't work I would consider the job (on the high level) in terms of a part of your career. Basing on the outcome I'd make a decision either to stay or to move along.<BR/><BR/>By the way: your approach to learn as a way to be the better in what you do is very valuable.Pawel Brodzinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04369257211504152485noreply@blogger.com
