I accepted the job for Machine Learning.

I got hired todo the back end.

I actually do the front end.

Man you are the extreme version of my job, I joined to be a junior developer to work on a CTI and end up reforming a website the company uses. Been learning some stuffs tho

It happens to everyone nowadays and I really hate this.
I was selected for an internship as Data Engineer and ended up doing 2 projects, one in MEAN stack and another Flask micro web framework in Python. I was even leading the group of other interns for the Flask webapp project.

Note: I had absolute zero knowledge in web development. And never heard about MEAN or Flask. HTML was the only thing I knew. And I did all these in a span of 20 days.
Literally, I was coding and debugging like 15-16 hours a day.
I wish I knew about devrant that time. Would have ranted so much...

@runfrodorun actually I'm rather curious right now because I did and do so many projects in different areas that I just like exploring the unknown. The situation is just so strange right now. On the other hand I have some backups and I'm not forced to work on either of the things. It just happend somehow 🤷‍♂️But you are completely right, if they piss me of because they demand ridiculous work which I don't want or agreed to do I'll rage quit.

@github from my experience this happens because the "non-techs" simply don't give a fuck about what we are exactly doing and loving so they just asume we can do everything which can be done on a PC because we work with pcs... I don't know how to improve on this other than staying strong and only doing what you are hired for, or like or instead rage quitting asap.

Reminds me of my first job out of college. I was hired as a blackberry app developer - I feel old - and eventually ended up becoming the release engineer over 2-3 years of other role switches in the same org. Now I breath and preach DevOps.

You never know what your capable of, sometimes you just needs folks who believe in you to push you in the right direction. I thought I wanted to be an academic even lol
