So I have been working at this start up for about 5 months, almost 6 I believe, and while some aspects of the job are interesting, like the randomness of some projects I am asked to do and some of the fun issues I get to solve, other aspects of it are quite frustrating and stressful.

My title at this start up is Office Assistant. I do alot of things but one of my main responsibilities is to assist one of the Executives. Now when I applied for the job it didn't say this, when I had the phone interview I was told it would be 10% of my job. When I went to the in person interview I was told it would be about 50% of my job. And now it's basically 100% of my job with about 50% of other office stuff.

I've been trying to talk to the company to get into another department, the marketing department, because it looks fun and sort of creative. I graduated with a degree in film so I enjoy being creative. However, due to the CEO of this startup recently stepping down and the top part of the organization in a scramble to figure out what to do, I was basically told that, for the foreseeable future there will be no change to my position.

I also heard, from some guys in another department, that apparently our product isn't getting much traction not because it isn't good, but because people don't want to pay for it or learn how to use it.

I really don't like my job and I know if I leave that I could be unemployed for another 7 months. I haven't been at this job too long I think but the stress is insane and I just can't keep up with the amount of work I am given.
