I am a software engineer at a non-tech but very large engineering company. I am one year into a new-grad program. Relative to my new-hire peers, I feel like I tasked to do a lot more and I have to stay longer hours than most. I really enjoy the technical assignments that I am tasked with and I sometimes go above and beyond (staying really late to solve problems) at my own expense. However, I do feel very jealous that my peers can leave work early and do relatively nothing all day while I am tasked with these never-ending responsibilities. I don't feel like I should bring this up to management because it's generally not my peer's fault that they have nothing assigned to them, it is their managers.
My hope is that by being assigned difficult tasks and responsibilities, I will grow quicker career-wise.. but I feel like no matter how much I work, it won't be realized at my company. I feel like there's more political games to play with management and upper management in order to get noticed for a promotion.
Bonus scenario:
I have a peer in this new-grad program who probably doesn't work 40 hours a week on their technical work (or even 40 hours, in general). Our manager seems to tolerate it however I am very jealous that this person can get away with this. In addition, this person networks a lot and disregards their immediate technical tasks. I am, again, jealous because I want to be able to network too without hindering my technical performance. I feel like this person will grow their career faster by, ironically, ignoring their technical tasks.
So, I am not a very good networker and it would take me quite a bit of time to learning how to do so. I feel like I could make a bigger impact on technical work because I try to make strategic steps towards working for or being a consultant.
Based on the above:
- Is my jealousy towards my peers, in general, valid? If yes, what should I tell myself to not let it get to me. If no, why not?
- Is my jealousy towards the bonus peer valid, or again, should I just focus on myself? If yes, what steps should I make to have more time to network. If no, again, why not?
- Will working harder technically pay off, at all, or should I focus on making more management-related strategies to further my career?
