I had the opportunity to work for a relatively short period, around six months. Being part of a few projects was enjoyable, but due to the current stance of the company, my position wasn't optimally aligned with my skills and preferences. Consequently, I made the decision to transition to another company by my own choice. Perhaps, with a more suitable alignment within the company, I could have contributed more effectively to the work.
