Discussion on: I've just started a new job and they want me to work with technology I see as no benefit to my career, what do I do?

My opinion is that you already made the decision and I don't see quitting this job as a big issue CV-wise (you can even avoid to put it in the CV being 3 months of your life). You have to start looking for a job once again though.

I have a question though: why are you finding it out now? The issue doesn't seem to be just technological (it can happen as Colin said that you're going to work on tech you don't like) but of communication. It seems you were hired on different assumptions. Am I wrong?

Hi @rhymes , as I understood it I was brought in to do the new work, which would be in cutting-edge technology.

I'm guessing enterprise cutting edge is around MS Office 2010 🙃

You didn't discuss any of that? For example: what technologies, which projects are they working on, and so on.

Pardon me but from what you wrote it seems like you signed a little bit without enough information...
