I am a recent graduate who started my full-time job at a company in December, after completing an internship. As a Java developer, I mainly work on CRUD operations, which initially sparked a sense of novelty compared to my previous demo projects. However, over time, I have started to feel like my work experience has not contributed significantly to my professional growth.
The company I work for is relatively small, with a casual atmosphere and no required overtime. The salary is neither too high nor too low, which is satisfactory for me. Nevertheless, I am worried about my career development, as I feel that prolonged stay in the company might lead to stagnation. Looking back, I realize that my technical skills have not improved significantly over the past six months, which is a major concern for me.
I would like to seek advice from more experienced individuals to help me clarify my future goals and direction. I am struggling to find the right path forward.
