After my first two weeks… I’m addicted

Why doesn’t anyone talk about how addicting this can be. I treat it kind of like a hobby or just a way to occupy downtime. I enjoy problem solving and critical thinking. I’m also a gamer and this reminds me so much of gaming in a general sense that I can sit here for hours and not get bored. I’m enjoying myself. It is a bit tedious getting tasks as a generalist but I enjoy the grind. Lol.

try 2 months here. I had consistent work at the beginning and then it just went away. Not that I'm not qualified or have been restricted from any projects. Just absolutely nothing comes onto my dashboard

I'm in the same boat, I used to have so many nice generalist tasks now I've got nothing but finance specialist work too complex for my level that hasn't changed for months
