Work/Role is stagnating
Hi All,
I work at a global bank and 3 years ago moved into the team I am currently on. I'm finding it harder to get more meaningful work, other than just the basics. As an example, I actually have 10 years experience and lateralled to this position as the most junior person.
It looks like each of my 4 team members has a business line, and I won't let me do more than the basic stuff. I'm clearly competent as I get good reviews, both 360 reviews, and with group head. And a fair amount of "good job with that". I found 1 month ago, I am being left off client and investor calls. Calls where I would learn the most in structuring the deal, I have 2-3 new products I work on, and 1 I know very well. In additional there is a new SVP, and this woman has a similar background just more senior. She came in not knowing the other 3 products, and now it feels like the VP is training up instead of down. E.g. even the most junior product folks are on the email, and I feel I am purposely being left off.
Open to ideas, I'm honesty being pissed off now. If the pay and WLB wasn't great, I would start looking.

Sounds like all this changed when the new SVP came in? What's your relationship like with her?
I mean yes, but they were only 2 month in behind me. And I got to do the grunt work, and they got to do the high level stuff. So I couldn't take on higher level roles in some projects because of the underwriting taking up a fair amount of my day.
also, good relationship
Its been this way for three years and you're just asking now? Have you brought it up with your boss/someone senior? That seems like the first step, if you haven't already brought it to their attention you want more advanced work now is the time to do it.
So you make a lot of money, have a healthy work life balance, and don't seem in danger of losing your job. What's the issue?
If you want career growth, leave, I guess. Otherwise... work isn't meant to provide meaning. Find that in your day to day life.
