I was hired as a software engineer…….
But now I’m being asked to do work that has nothing to do with the JD…….
I genuinely don’t know what to do. It barely feels real like who hires you for a full stack python software developer and then suddenly tells you to do data engineering work instead
Do I start looking for another job, or do I just su-k it up and move to another department ? Or is this just a company-wide bait-and-switch hiring practice?
Similar thing happened to me, project I was hired for did a major pivot and I have been working on other unrelated stuff for while now....it su-ks, but definitely don't leave until you have something else lined up

Talk to your boss about your skills (don't tell them you feel like you were bait and switched). Try to get on projects to build any technical gaps you have in your resume. Keep your resume up to date. And keep your eye out for something else. I wouldn't leave unless you have something lined up.
