    Need some advice.

    The job description was for a senior level dba which I am. But when I showed up all they want me doing is moving databases from one server to another and migrating logins.

    I am going to have a talk with my manager tomorrow saying this is not an effective use of my time or their resources.

    They have people with less than 1 year experience trying to architect solutions that are second nature to me (or any other senior DbA/Developer).

    Anyone ever had an experience where the job was not at all what was described? How did that turn out?

    I had a job like that, struggled on with it for a year, bored out of my mind! Did me no good at all.

    Having said that, I'd give it a bit of time, perhaps to the end of a probation period if you have one?
