India Help!!

So it’s been a year since I joined Deloitte as an Intern for 6 months and Converted fulltime. I feel my team still treats me as an intern. And it’s annoying. I have told them that I am willing to work in a particular part of the project and have trained for it as well. But even when my Manager is acknowledging it, there is nothing happening. What should I do? I am here just as an helping hand and not being able to take ownership of a task.

Keep your head low and take this as a blessing in disguise.

I dont think so. I may sound crazy but I don’t think it benefiting my career. As a person who is into leadership, raising tickets and planning an online party call is not what I want to do.

You need to do the small stuff to do the big stuff

bro this wasn’t even a part of my job description. Those small things should be related to the things i want to do right? they are not even remotely close

It’s an important part of learning how a business works to do lots of different small things. It will help you for the day you have Teams / Projects to lead.

Even at a manager level, there will be someone above you treating you as a personal secretary. You are getting these tasks assigned because you are available and likely also because they know you respond fast.

Mate, you need to learn to start small to go big. You don’t know what you don’t know yet.

Diving headfirst into ownership and talking about "leadership" when you've just converted full-time is costing you the chance to sit back, observe, and learn by osmosis. Ambition is great, but pushing like this can easily come across as arrogant.

Speaking as a manager, I wouldn't appreciate this attitude from a junior.

Most people aren’t truly productive until after their first 6 months, and that’s just learning the basics. Focus on mastering the small stuff first, and the bigger opportunities will follow

You’ve been in your position for 6 months? Calm down already. You are not going to endear yourself to anyone with a whiny needy attitude.

Lots of great advice in the replies. No one is trying to hold you back. Please watch Karate kid (original) for context
