Catfished by Employers - Seeking Advice
I recently started a new position at a large professional service and analytics company as a “Machine Learning Engineer” - they were hiring several candidates at the time. After starting the new position, I was immediately reassigned to a new team without any communication. After about a month, I’m doing a lot of tasks outside of my R&R that wasn’t described in the JD - my role is supposed to be purely technical, but there’s a lot of project management involved.
I discussed this situation with my manager and he wasn’t aware that I was hired on as an MLE. My manager discussed it with the VP and the feedback was there isn’t an open role for that, but they can work towards me becoming a data scientist as a long term goal…
I’m looking to apply to new jobs, I’m just not sure what other options I have. Any feedback and suggestions would be really appreciated!

Maybe wait for a year and then leave
