Individual Objectives/ Organ. Objectives

I have to say that you can't expect that you will always get to do the exciting work, unless you are in a rare field. Sometimes we have to do less than glamourous stuff.

Of course if you feel no loyalty to your employer you can bail and look for work more to your liking. But do that too many times and you will have a resume which doesn't reflect well on you.

But you also have to know yourself well enough to judge yourself to see if you have the right skills and attitude to make a go of this legacy project - if you won't be happy from the get go, you won't be productive and should think about your options.

you for it.

The old adage is true in IT too. Most companies use a lot of legacy systems and few outside of clean slate start-ups can justify giving away what works in exchange for an expensive new
system- even if it worked right the first time. Stockholders would never go for the "latest Technology" all the time for it's own sake.

Anyone who believes the sales hype doesn't work long in this field. It's the nature of the beast.
