20F here, worked hard in university and secured a job as a campus hire into a top consulting firm. All goes down the drain as the company changes my role and my location a week before my joining date. (Yes, I work in India, labour laws are non existent, they'll get a replacement in seconds). They changed my role from finance to data entry, basically enter addresses 9 hours a day.
I feel miserable, they won't let me transfer internally and the HR doesn't care. I'm expected to stay in this project till 2027. I feel like trash that they decided to toss around. My career is ruined as soon as it started, I will never get the relevant experience to move to another job, not in this economy or the country I live in. Manager hasn't given me a leave in 8 months and blocks trainings so I can't find other opportunities or learn new things so I can shift, he wants to retain his employees as much as he can.
How do I keep myself motivated to upskill myself and keep looking for other jobs. I try and try but seeing rejection mails everyday just drains me out. I cant get over the pain and regret, I worked so hard to get the role I wanted just for them to toss me into something else. Anything would be helpful to keep my sanity. I know I'm young I have my whole life ahead but I just can't spend a day feeling like I'm worthless now, it hurts and it's exhausting.
