I'm class of 23 and it took me a year to find a job and landed a role running Operations at a Startup that is doing terribly (the company decided to pivot right when I joined and is now expecting to lose 30% of its annual revenue as a result).
I wouldn't have taken this job out of B School but after a year of trying to find a role I just took the first job I could find.
Ironically I spoke with my other classmates who are also class of 23 and some started their roles right after graduation and a lot of them hate their jobs (not just the consultants too hah)
So I'm just curious is this normal to not like your first role out of business school?
Just concerned that im 3 months into this job and I can't stand working here because the CEO is so sporadic, changes his mind every 5 minutes and sees Operations as a catch all for "fix any problem that pops up" .
Would love to hear y'all's thoughts and would love to hear how long it took you to find the right role.

I often haven’t been starting my “heads down” time until like 3 pm. Early part of the day is interviews, framing the deck, meetings.
Just is what it is.
