I don't know about the industry you are in, but in my experience, almost all jobs I had were just flat out boring, and sometimes I would not have anything to do other than to browser here while on the bog.

What industry are in you? I think that will give people a better understanding and maybe offer better advice.

Start looking anyway. You've got nothing to lose.

Don't worry too much about references, actually having a notice period to work through is the only reference many employers will care about.

If you do get offered an interview, make sure you've rehearsed an answer for the question "why are you leaving your current job?" Acceptable answers will be along the lines of: "Whilst I've enjoyed my time there and gained valuable experience, it's no longer providing the challenges I'm looking for."

What industry is this, lad?

>>11297>>11299
This would be the cybersecurity industry

>>11298
I anticipate the question will be asked if I decided to quit after a few months. My answer will probably be something along the lines of that which more or less is the truth with the exception of my enjoyment. I do like the people there but it's a little difficult doing that when I'm being moved about.

Is GCHQ really that bad?

>>11300
Isn't that what IT is? A lot of sitting around doing fuck all?

>>11301
Not as bad as NSA. Their leaked toolkit is pretty ok.
>>11302
Imagine a security guard without CCTV to look at. That's my job right now and that's the best analogy I can think of.

Like having a chef cut vegetables with a rubber chicken.

>Like having a chef cut vegetables with a rubber chicken.
That sounds like fun.

But honestly lad, I do way too much and get paid shite because I work for the government, so your job sounds like THE DREAM. Or maybe I lack ambition. In any case, what qualifications do you need to do fuck all and get paid for, like you are now?

>>11303
Do you not have a book to read? I do (almost) nothing all day for free and I never lack for things to occupy myself with.

>>11304
Or perhaps I'm too ambitious. Turns out a masters is enough.

That's the thing it is literally nothing which is boring as fuck. At least when I was unemployed I could play video games and wank all day. Now I'm in a job where anything slightly fun is blocked by the web filter and my bathroom breaks are micromanaged. Though on the otherhand the good thing about being in cybersecurity is being able to bypass all any filters. I mean if I do end up getting moved to be in a room on my own I'd probably end up playing video games knowing nobody will know. There is also the fact I'm sort of in charge of the software that monitors the network and it didn't detect me using a torrent client. Would be nice if they gave me admin rights of that software so I could you know do my job and configure it so it detects shit like that.

>>11306
I'd say browse the net on your phone but that alone does get boring and is entirely pointless.

>>11307
Been doing that for the last couple of weeks. Not enough to get caught but enough to get bored.

I have a book on my phone related to my job in case they do ask why I'm on it but it's only a matter of time until they find me swiping on tinder.

Write a book. You can disappear to wherever you'd rather be, without leaving Microsoft Word.

I hope you aren't moanign because they aren't handing out the juicy $criptz yet. If you've got an internet facing computer with no port restrictions and a bash terminal, how the fuck are you bored?
