Career Changes Support Group
This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new one. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the switch.
I have been thinking about it for weeks. I even wake up sometimes earlier than my alarm clock just to ponder on that. I know that there is no perfect job. Currently, it’s neither making me physically sick nor giving me hard times. It’s just that, I don’t feel like staying in that job anymore. A foreign friend once told me that if I feel like I am no longer challenged professionally, then I should quit. Is that somehow a basis or am I just exhausted to think this way?
If you're financially secure enough to quit, there's no reason to stay at a soul sucking job, especially if there are other options. Or do you need to stay, save and start looking for a new job?
You should also ask yourself what you hate about the job. Is it the job itself? Coworkers? Boss? That will help you be more selective in what you choose to do next.
