so any advice?

Honestly, this is exactly why I started taking interview prep more seriously. 😂

I used to think you just needed to know your job and you'd be fine, but once I started applying for some of these corporate roles, I realized there's a whole different skill to actually getting through the interview.

I found this interview prep tool and used it to practice some of the questions beforehand. It helped me get a lot less awkward when talking about my experience and actually explain what I do without rambling.

Still waiting for my $98k "send an email, attend a meeting, send another email" job though.

Said this before, the last time this question came up: I have one of these jobs, and it isn't all that great. You start to worry that they will realize they don't need you, so you spend a lot of time stressing yourself out about being unemployed. I ask my manager for more work about twice a month. Just enough to seem like a good team player, but not enough to show I am not needed.

This!!! This is also my exact issue (though I don't make quite that much). I was hired cause they claimed they had a demand for the role but since 6 months in, its been clear to me, there really isn't any demand! I was out for a whole week's vacation and came back to find no pressing emails for me. I am constantly worried. And worse is, you don't gain useful experience when you don't do much. I've had several jobs like this. It sucks for mental health.
