I feel like I might have chosen the wrong job.
I love research, coming up with solutions, and creating things, and my field is in technology. However, after getting my phd I was burned out and a bit lost. and eventhough I have so many ideas that can be implemented and would sell in a minute, I just didn't know where to start (on my own) and if this is the right time to do it.
So, since i felt that I'm not ready yet I applied for an asistant prof job and I got it.
It turnes out that the place i'm in is not that great. The management is terrible, and research has isn't a priority.
I wasn't given an introduction and no onboarding process. I was given multiple tasks (a lot of them outside of my job description) to do the moment I stepped in and was assinged courses to teach without giving me a choice (and it's outside of my expertise but I can teach it since it is BSc level).
On top of that I was asked to attend compulsry courses that adds up to 13 hours a week for 3 months. (i guess that's my introduction)
I'm still in my first month in this job but I'm not happy with it. I'm usually a very energatic and positive person, but now I feel physically and emotionally exausted and tired. and its not just because of the tasks i have to do, but also the toxic environment..
I cant even do research because I'm too busy trying to finish other tasks.
I'm not sure what is the right thing to do now? Do i stay at least a year before I decide to leave?
Do I start applying for new jobs and leave as soon as i get one? I'm kind of afraid of going to another uni because what if I face the same issues?
what if this is not the career for me? but if I leave academia then I lost the chance to do research independently
and starting my own business now is still risky (eventhough this is my dream)
I dont know what to do, I need advice...
