Damnit why
>work help desk almost a year, like ten months.
>ask manager about applying to internal IT position that isn't help desk, i.e. not shit
>she tells me have to wait till after a year, so two months away
>later that week hear some guy In our help desk got a job in another job within the company in IT.
>look him up he's not even been here a year
What is this nonsense, does my manager just hate me?
No idea, but I hear for these sort of jizzrag jobs you usually get two years form it then move up to another company till eventually you get an actual job somewhere.

This. Starting at helpdesk you basically have to move 2-3 times at an interval of a year each before you get to the point where you're actually getting a salary.
One tip: try to avoid on-call work. Shit sucks yo.
>>1283648
I'm well aware of oncall work. I like to sleep

Also what do you mean moving 2-3 interval each year
apply to positions at other companies. sometimes you have to move out to move up.
How did you get into your job? I'm trying to transition into IT, wondering if you can tell me a little about your path.

Make note of it, but keep it to yourself as ammunition later. Work until you complete at least that solid 1 year, then look for a better job elsewhere. If you get an offer, ask for a meeting with your boss and let them know you're interested in a higher/better position or at least more responsibilities and pay. If denied, bring up this incident with the other help desk monkey getting promoted as well as your job offer, noting that you're considering it strongly and giving your notice. Maybe they'll shrug and let you walk, maybe they'll panic and make something happen.
