I take offense to being referred to as a resource. I'm a human being damn it

I really like my mentor. She's new to the company but they created the role for her ,so she heads all the information/business systems. Basically all the data I'm using to build dashboards.

After speaking with her seems like my team is just unorganized and overwhelmed. It's only 4-5 main data sources and they have pimped them into hundreds of tables/views, so mad repeating data across applications. Then every time someone wants a new project, they just create a new subset of that data.

I don't like building these dashboards at all. It reminds me of when I was a realtor, dragging people from house to house, I hated it. People are fickle af and I don't want to be an audience to their decision making nor have their decisions have a direct impact on my workload. I want to align more with data strategy or even developing a consistent set of design rules and templates, so then it's a matter of pick a design, tell me what data you want, and plug it into the template. Having 70 dashboards that all look different, but using the same data is crazy as hell.

After a few conversations, it's in my best interest to develop myself professionally and this company isn't a bad place. I have a contractor mentality, but I feel there is so much more I could be contributing in terms of strategy, organization and design. I've been thinking through a few ideas and if I'm always one foot out the door, it's just no use in executing. LOL I always compare dating to finding a job so I'm at the "try to make this one work" phase.

I still want additional income, but I'm not sure I want to be an employee at another company. The thought of interviewing makes me tired.
