Figure out what the job entails, and the tech required to do that. Then recall the job description - is every need listed as a requirement? If so, this is &quot;dead end&quot; by any reasonable definition, as they expect you to learn absolutely nothing on the job, but just regurgitate what you did for somebody else.<p>That is not entirely sure fire, as of course maybe your next task will give you the opportunity to learn new things, but to me it is always a red flag that cannot be ignored. If you expect me to know every last thing you need, I don&#x27;t want to work for you because I will be stagnating in my career. I&#x27;m not going to gamble that I&#x27;ll be allowed to move into a different group (I&#x27;m way past the beginning of my career, where some dues paying is usually in order).<p>If you are on the other end of hiring - consider letting us know what our chances of growth are in the job. So many job reqs just list requirements. It&#x27;s hard to get excited about repeating the past.
