Is working as a vendor in IT consultancy firm a dead end job?

[sAVaGEmP5]

Got which job is easy 11 and not dead end ?

Everyday just clear ticket only

attend countless meeting, countless thing to follow up, no end on sight

deadline keep postpone and everything push to next release
then next release same thing again, then the chat group will have people tag your name

No career progression, no rest, every release just push push push

I was hoping a down period, but it seem consistently peak period for many months already

None of the MNCs and SMEs I worked at had down periods wan. Only civil service have such things. Chiu may wan 2 pivot 2 becum a monitoring leezard if dats wat sexcites chiu.

Its jus like u go temple for free meals, u put 10cents as donation. Say u pay alrdy, u expect standards and say u din eat free. Sama sama.

Karma will hit hard if makan too much.

But we EDMWers BBFA muz makan much much. Juz donate moar.

Member -> Senior member -> Team Lead -> PM/TSM/Ops Manager -> Senior PM/TSM/Ops Mgr -> Director

You must excel in playing office politics to be able to complete this path.

Nope. Not sure why do you think this way. This is a normal career progression doable by a normal person who works normally.

Congratulation if you have completed this career path.

I was hoping after 4 month of peak period there will be a down period where people are more free to do their own personal thing while doing work

not every day engage in call with deadline

gib some sexamples clear Simi tickets

no example will be given

TS... IT is an industry where knowledge is the currency... you either grow vertically in your specialization or grow horizontally by covering more domains.... otherwise you need to switch to tech sales where the more you sell the higher you go... only these 3 ways...

better retire or switch to something less hectic, less demanding, slower pace. Else to exit with more serious health problem lose more money

Yes, it is definitely a dead end job. Dun expect vendor will give you a smooth smooth career progress. Treat it just a job. Dead end means engineer unlikely to become manager or director in the career path. Every day job is to clear service tickets. Do remote troubleshooting. Upgrade servers with new release (work OT or burn weekend). Perform change management etc etc. Do preventive maintenance... see how long you can live with such job. One fine day will be burntout or tio pok by the vendor if your salary is too high. My salary reached too high, tio pok... they are not promoting me to manager or director... sucks. wasted by life.

To the young folks out there, do ask the question if you will be come a manager or director in this career path. If not, it is a dead end job.

what celery is considered too high for non managers

sounds familiar
many challenges to cope, technical and manpower, end up one man operation, many chat groups and every morning turn on phone chat messages non stop for minutes .
