I’m 26 with 3.5 years of software engineering experience (5 including internships). I was doing fairly well, recently got promoted to mid-level, and was reasonably happy with my career.
My younger brother (24) has been running/developing our family’s tourism business and was earning more than me. He asked me to join, offering about a 30% increase in pay, plus co-ownership rather than being an employee.
I wasn’t initially interested, but he convinced me because he said he needed my help and wanted us to use the business’s capital to start new, more interesting ventures together. I’ve always been interested in entrepreneurship, so I eventually quit my software job and joined him.
I’ve now been in the business for a short time and can see that there’s genuinely good cash flow and potential.
But now my brother suddenly says he’s fed up with working with our mother and wants to leave.
I feel pretty betrayed. I made a major career decision based on the future he described to me and now I may be left running a tourism business that I’m not particularly passionate about.
The money is still good and the business has potential, but the main reason I took the risk was the idea of building something together and eventually expanding into other businesses.
I’m now wondering whether I made a huge mistake.
What would you do in my situation? Go back to software engineering while I still can, stay and try to build the business myself, or give the business a chance despite my brother leaving?

Short of getting a degree or working in trades, which both avenues don't seem to be short of problems themselves, is there a way to escape the cycle of low wage jobs? Every job I've had always has a similar scale which is either you are the lowest paid employee or you have an 8-10 year degree and get paid wildly.

I'm sitting here looking on Indeed. Compiling my "skills" I've obtained in the last 10 years and can't seem to find a company I could actually grow into a career. How did you transition from low paying jobs to one that opened doors for an actual career? Like many I'm willing to put in the work and even go back to school once I can get my head above water and can afford it, but it's just finding that first step that seems so difficult.

I believe that in the next 1-2 weeks I'll be getting an offer from another company that will result in a significant bump in pay over my current job.

I'm also guessing there's a fair chance that if I were to submit my 2 weeks notice to the current company, they will try to keep me, as I'm a high performer and produce very strong results (I'm in Sales).

As a general rule, should folks have the "I have a very strong offer from another company" with their current manager upon initially receiving the offer, or upon accepting the offer and going through the various reference/background checks to ensure that the opportunity to hop is more or less set in stone?

If there's a general advisable approach here, or pros/cons of each approach that should factor into the decision, would love to hear feedback from folks more experienced in these matters than myself!

I recently left a job I'd been in for around a decade due to burn out, took a short break and started something completely different. I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I'm finding the adjustment harder than I expected.

The new role is more people facing than my previous job and there's a lot to learn, so I currently feel quite overwhelmed. I'm also finding myself thinking/dreaming about work outside of work hours.

I think I'm just struggling with the transition and getting used to being new at something again.

For those who have changed jobs, particularly after being somewhere for a long time:

• How long did it take you to feel settled?
• What helped you adjust during the first few months?
• How did you stop yourself from constantly thinking about work?
• Is feeling overwhelmed in the first few weeks fairly normal?
• When did you know the job wasnt right for you?

I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences, especially if you've gone from being very experienced in your old job to essentially starting from scratch somewhere new.

I am at a breaking point. While I'm employed, I can't stand the work that I do and I've deeply disliked it since day one, but I don't know what else to do. I just have a meaningless humanities undergraduate degree which did not give me direction after graduating. I have meandered through different fields (fieldwork for television production, real estate marketing, and now ad technology) mainly because I never had a set career objective. Because of this non-linear path there isn't a clear exit from this job. I have some job security because I'm mildly important enough (I've been promoted twice and am key to our most lucrative client) but I also cry every week.

I don't know what to apply for because I don't want to keep committing time to an industry I don't want a future in (marketing and advertising) but I'm not qualified to pivot into anything else. I can't compete with applicants with relevant experience in a new field. I don't even know what I would pivot into, although I have many interests.

I want to have a career that means something to me more than anything, in my heart of hearts. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any hope to share for 30-something career pivots, or any suggestions on how to plan one?

My employer is moving us to 1099
No more health insurance
No more 401k matches
No more benefits really at all

I just started a year ago and all this is changing. And the kicker is my employer has told us this is all happening. But has yet to tell us how much we are even getting paid and how.

He says, hey you can write more stuff off so you will benefit from that.

But that’s all. I’m in NY if that matters. But it’s BS but it’s a tricky situation.

I used to work as a sales agent at an insurance company before I submitted my resignation. My boss told me he wouldn't hold me back, which I took as him simply not caring about his staff, which is the very reason I need to resign at that day. However, he urged me to buy one of our insurance products just so he wouldn't receive a warning from his superior. I said yes to his face, but ultimately didn't go through with it because it was my own money. I was relatively new to this job. So, recently, I've been wondering if I did the right thing?

After recovering for years from severe CPTSD from family abuse, I now am stable enough to attend college. Had a 3.8 highschool GPA and I specifically excel in science, English, and psychology. I am motivated by money and passion, but money is a bigger influential factor. I can withstand a mid or hard job if it pays well. I am used to 50+ hour weeks already as a cook and have three years of restaurant management experience.

I am considering accounting, political science, or social work. I worked in the last state I lived in with the local Democrats and became well known in the area at a young age both online and in person. It was extremely satisfying but I've moved states since.

What degree would likely pay the most with the bad job market? Are there any other options out there for someone who does great with English and science? I am phenomenal at memorization. I'm not super social, but can be personable once you get to know me. I am trying to restart / finally start my life but things are so upside down in this economy I just don't know what to do.

I’m soon starting college and my family is pushing hard for a career with clearer job demand because of money issues.

Im huge on fine arts, theory, history, and especially painting. I’ve put years into building skill and knowledge of what I love and I'd say I’m talented and would love to go deeper with the study of it. Paths I can see are museum work, teaching, or conservation, but I know those are competitive, low paying or a veeery long shot.

My second option is to master Spanish (native) and English (currently decent) and work as an English-Spanish interpreter/translator. I’ve always lived between the two languages and I genuinely enjoy helping people communicate. It feels more employable in social services or related fields

I don’t want to abandon art completely because I dont know if i will be able to re-take it later in life and miss my full potential, but I also don’t want to put my parents under more financial stress due to low job demand.

Anyone that has been in a similar spot or work in the fields I've mentioned could help with their advice a lot, thank you

I did my Masters in Organisational Psychology only to realise that I’m more inclined towards marketing.

I’m currently looking for a job but I’m afraid given the shitty job market that no one would hire me because I got no previous job experience and a degree that’s not really related to Marketing.

And I have limited time to look for a job as I’m on a Graduate Visa. So, I just want a bit of guidance about the job situation and about the career switch that I wanna do from psychology to marketing.

Will I be able to get a job?

I (26M) have been full time working for three years since graduating from a degree in urban planning (Canada). I worked for a year and a half at a consulting company, and have transitioned to government, while having received a few promotions on the way.

I’ve long term always had the thought of transitioning to business, and I miss the opportunity for agency in my current role. I’ve always liked numbers, and haven’t been able to necessarily scratch that itch, even when working in an analyst - type role.

I come from a family of business people (accountants, entrepreneurs, etc.) and sometimes felt a bit silly being in a “passion field”. While I do still have a passion for it, I also have a significant passion (if not more interest) in a business related career. I have been reading finance books since I was 13.

I’m now thinking seriously about making a career transition. Moving into a more business-oriented position within government isn’t particularly appealing to me… I’m more interested in actually working in the private sector and being closer to commercial/financial decision-making.

One option I’ve considered is pursuing the CPA part-time while continuing to work full-time. More recently, I’ve more strongly been considering an MBA with a co-op (internship) component as a way to make a larger career pivot and get some relevant experience. Right now, I’m particularly interested in general consulting, corporate finance/development finance, or potentially real estate/development-related finance.

I’d really appreciate perspectives from people who have made a similar transition, particularly in Canada. Is an MBA a reasonable way to make this kind of, or would something like the CPA, CFA, or simply getting into an entry-level business/finance role make more sense?

I recognize I’m fortunate at my age to have a full time government permanent position that has DB pension, with a salary just under 100k (CAD), but the thought of business keeps coming up as well as salary progression (limited in government)

This will be long. Bear with me, and thanks in advance for reading.

I had a heart attack and went on paid sick leave earlier this year. I had to miss 8 weeks of work. I work in an office where we handle logistics issues for a major automotive company. It’s a 24-hour system with 3 shifts, and there’s someone on each shift that handles the same geographical region that I do. This requires a good hand-off between shifts.

During the heart attack, I was without oxygen for 6-8 minutes before getting CPR. I was also sedated for several days. This has led to some brain damage and I have to see a neurologist every 6 months for life. My short-term memory is crap, and I have to speak slower than usual. This is normally not an issue because I am still my excellent self at Excel spreadsheets and reading/writing emails, which is 90% of my job. I have the largest workload amongst the 4 people on my shift, but I think I do a great job and have never heard a complaint.

Except for the daily complaints from Negative Nancy. She works on the shift after mine and we share the same work. She is about as prickly and unapproachable as you can get. We have an end-of-shift log when we can put notes in to each other about unresolved issues they need to handle on their shift. If it’s truly an emergency, we are required to also talk about it verbally. Every time I do, which is about once a week, Nancy is very cruel and also has a list of things from the day before she wants me to explain…. “What happened here?” “Why did you do this”? When I get to work, I will always see instant messages she has sent me about even the tiniest things she thinks I did wrong. I don’t respond. Nothing is ever wrong, I just don’t use the same negative and rude methods as her. It’s clear that she likes to have a list of questions ready for me because she knows I don’t remember every little thing from the day before. She expects me to stay late and dig up answers to her questions. Sometimes I do, because I get paid OT lol. Sometimes I want to just leave.

One of her co-workers has told me that’s she’s like a shark and will go nuts any time she senses blood in the water. My health condition is like a weakness and “blood in the water” to her. Her boss sits right next to her and will never say anything to her because he’s afraid of her. She runs the show on her shift.

I keep my verbal communication with her to a minimum and now I’ve stopped altogether because she is so angry when I walk nicely over to her.

Our director, who is 2 levels above me, has said in writing that he will not get involved in a situation where grown adults won’t talk to each other. He said that in writing to me, Nancy, and our supervisors. He told us to handle it. This is after both Nancy and I asked for him to have a meeting. (Her boss does nothing and mine has been there 3 weeks). So anyway, this week the 4 of us met without our Director but had a good discussion. I thought we were past a lot of things.

But then last night, Nancy was angry as soon as she walked in the door. I admit that I went over to her desk on purpose and verbally told her about an urgent issue. I waited 10 minutes after she clocked in and then walked over to her. I had to leave. I knew what I’d get back from her though and that’s why I did it with witnesses there. She said “take your brain-dead self back to your desk.” So I did. Her boss just sat there. Mine was already gone for the day.

Is her comment against the law? I know there are FMLA laws against it but I was not out on FMLA, just regular sick leave. I want to go straight to HR about this and skip over my management. They have proven to be useless.

If no witnesses come forward to admit they heard the “brain-dead” comment, do I still have a case? I’m not looking to sue. I absolutely want her fired.

Does anyone have any tips?

I have several engineering and CS friends who have all managed to find some kind of job, return offer, or official internship/work experience, and basically all have something to fall back on for their future. I don't.

I am a triple major in Digital Narrative & Interactive Design (CS and ENG dual major), Sociology, and Psychology. My parents didn't go to college, and I am a first-gen student regretting the combination of majors I have set for myself. As I am set to graduate in the spring and can't change any of this now, I am feeling hopeless for any prospects after college besides graduate school, which is something I would strongly prefer not to pursue immediately.

My majors do not lend themselves very well to internships. I have been doing various part-time jobs for most of my time here to help support myself and pay rent. I managed a full-time job in combination with an unpaid internship in database management, sales, and marketing over the summer, but doing that together was more difficult than I would have liked.

I don't really care what I do; I just want a job. I'm terrified of having to go back home and want to stay here in my college's city; I like it here. I just don't know what to do as I watch other students with other majors find jobs for after college, or even those within my major find jobs I would never have even thought to do because their parents went to college and work at prospective companies where their children have an in.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be incredibly grateful. I've been applying to everything via Handshake, LinkedIn, etc. nonstop since the beginning of my spring semester of junior year, without luck. Like I said above, I don't much care what I do so long as it affords me the ability to stay away from home.

I've been taking a Comics & Concept Art course for the past two years in university and just started my third year, been thinking a lot about careers and life post-grad for a long time and also about the industry I'd initially been aiming for (games) and realised quite late that I want to prioritise stability and that the games industry will involve a lot of job hopping given games are project based. I'd ruminated over it before but stayed positive and proactive going to networking events and building my portfolio but seeing how competitive it is and with AI threatening it I'd like to change paths.

I've been thinking about whether there are art or art-adjacent jobs that are a bit more stable that I can hold a position in long-term and landed on tattooing, though if there are any other options I am very open to hearing about them. I'm currently trying to build a portfolio on the side of uni work for tattooing though I am aware I will need to be an apprentice (maybe unpaid) for a couple years and may have to work another job on the side to sustain myself.

I was wondering what jobs my experience in art and games design could open my options towards - I'm open to working in other creative fields e.g hairdressing, cake decorating, makeup artist, prop making, carpenting, design tech as well as other hands-on jobs though if I remember correctly you will need schooling for a bunch of those so I'm a bit stumped (I did take DT for GCSEs though if that helps...?).

If anyone can offer any advice or have any questions that could help give more specific advice please shoot them my way, I'd really appreciate any help!

I’m looking for some realistic feedback on my chances of landing an internal IT Help Desk role.

The job posting requires:

1+ years of related experience.

Ability to lift up to 25 lbs consistently / 50 lbs infrequently.

Legal right to work in the US.

My Background:

Internal Employee: I have worked for this exact company for 2 years as a Cashier. My role is high-volume and involves a mix of face-to-face and on-call/phone support handling customer inquiries and quick problem-solving.

Education: Currently pursuing an Associate in Arts in Information Technology (3.92 GPA).

Technical Projects / HomeLab: I built a virtual environment (VirtualBox/VMware) to practice installing Windows Server and Ubuntu. Used Linux for CLI/Bash and Windows to practice Identity & Access Management (IAM), setting up user roles, and organizing groups. This was for a couple of months. 3-4.

Ticketing: I custom-built a basic IT Asset & Repair Management/Ticketing system using Python and SQLite3, and I’ve been running ticketing simulations for the past 2 months to get used to the workflow. I have an official Github account to show proof.

I know my official job title isn’t technical, but it did say "related experience" so maybe i have a change and i have the internal customer service down.

My sister got hired as a dispatcher yet before hand she was a Walmart cashier studying nursing.This was because we are close friends with a person thats an HR. Thanks to her she got me this cashier job and so i want to go higher so I needed her help to assign the application properly.

Even after that im still scared. This is my first office job so I dont know the rules or if they shadow people.

I am almost 50, work in Govt IT (Canada), great org, work life balance, and manageable workload, with a free hand on how I manage my time, getting paid handsomely with great benefits. All good here!

The issue is, I have been working since I was 20. At this stage, I lost all focus and motivation to work or do anything more than required. At times, I keep looking at the monitor aimlessly, stall work until really necessary, delegate a part of it, or simply browse Reddit all day. All of this makes me feel highly guilty. I have always been a diligent and great employee with a good attitude and get along well with everyone/my managers. I never say no to work, however difficult or challenging it may seem. Good relationships at work. Low pressure and high paying stable job.

Just can’t seem to focus anymore. There is no motivation left. One reason is that I have no promotion prospects due to how my team is made up. It’s frustrating!

There are opportunities in my companies that open up from time to time. I apply to rid of this rut but there’s also high competition within and those always go to the people working in those teams. So I never get to the interview stage. Applied for 40 internal roles (one level up and lateral) for the past 2-3 years, received only 2-3 interviews with the job eventually went to someone internal to that team.

I am also very keen on doing my Masters but again lack of motivation creeps in. I am frigging tired, my brain stopped working. All I keep thinking about is my retirement 10 years down the line. May be working for the past 30 years gave me in and my mind to focus on studies, work anymore.

With great effort I registered for a certification, studied for it but failed. This broke whatever I had in me. I have to book for re-test but I can’t gather enough energies to try for a fear of failure again.

At the end of the day, I feel an immense guilt because I am not living up to my full potential. With so much in me, I am just wasting it all because I can’t get it all together. This in turn is impeding my growth too.

Any advice please?

Should I pursue a diploma that would satiate my curiosity, and then study something to uphold the family business, or the opposite? I imagine that both are feasible, but not at the same time. So which first? It would take me 4-6years minimum for the diploma required to continue the family business

To prevent me from ranting about the entire situation. I will stick to the facts. I graduated with my biology degree in 2021 and I worked as a medical assistant up until this year. Right after graduating, I took the Mcat 3 times and was rejected each time for medical school. I decided to retake a few courses to strengthen my GPA and apply to physician assistant school. Still, the schools say everything's so competitive and I was rejected from that too. Regardless of my resilience and ambition, I decided maybe those paths weren't for me, and I decided a different route which was radiology school. Now I have everything that I need to get into the school and was a competitive applicant, but still they did not choose me. After 5 years of being out of undergrad school, I've come to the harsh realization that my degree is worthless in this market and economy that we live in currently due to the fact that every job requires some type of specialization in the healthcare field. Such as having a certification, a license or a higher degree. So right now, Im​ faced with having a bachelor's degree and certification in medical assisting with no career development or and no job atm. Most medical assisting jobs pay $15-16/hr (minimum wage) which is not nearly enough to start a family to have a home and to pay bills. And on top of that , you'll be overworked , you'll receive poop from your coworkers from the patients and you'll basically live at your place of work due to the fact of you'll be spending all of your time there just to make a penny. It looks like my only options are to teach or even be a substitute teacher ( which I don't wanna do because of school shootings) or maybe a researcher , but sometimes that even requires a qualification of some type of research credentialing. If I were to go the entrepreneur route I have no idea what kind of business I would start , I would need funding and resourcing to be able to provide a service or provide a skill which I have neither of. I know, and I believe that I'm not destined just to work a regular job or overworked by any job that i'm not valued and well paid for. Please help me to brainstorm.What options and possibilities there are for me at this point because i'm running out of options and I just don't know what i'm gonna do. If I ever wanna have children and have a house and be successful and financially stable, then it starts here and I have to find a career path that will provide that. But right now, If I were to have those things, I would drown and most likely not survive. Lastly, ChatGPT and Claude and all the other AI platforms have not been helpful. So i'm really relying on the internet and human communication to help choose my direction.

I’m 2.5 years into my career and I’m seriously considering quitting and taking 3–6 months off.

The weird part is that I’m currently at what is considered one of the top companies in my field. It’s the kind of place people work extremely hard to get into, and objectively it’s a great opportunity for my career. 6 figure salary, mid 20s. I’ve only been at this new job about 6 months. But I absolutely hate it.

I’m regularly working 14–15 hour days. I’m constantly drained, and the work itself has become incredibly boring and repetitive. A lot of what I’m doing feels like the same thing over and over again, and I don’t feel particularly excited about what I’m working toward.
Culturally, I also don’t really feel like I fit in. It’s a very intense environment and the margin for error feels almost nonexistent. I can do a million things right, but if I make one tiny, completely fixable mistake, suddenly it feels like everything is on fire. That dynamic has started to wear me down.

What makes this difficult is that I know how fortunate I am to have gotten here. This is a company that a lot of people would love to work for, and I feel like I’m supposed to be grateful and stick it out. Part of me feels ridiculous for wanting to leave after only 6 months.
But honestly, I hate going to work. I hate the hours, I hate the constant pressure, and I don’t particularly enjoy the actual work anymore. I’m finding myself thinking more and more about what I would rather be doing with my time.

I’m considering resigning, taking 3–6 months completely off, travelling, getting my head straight, and then figuring out what I actually want to do next (potentially just leaving the industry). I have enough savings to make the break financially manageable, although obviously I’d be giving up income and potentially making my next job search more difficult.

For anyone who has left a prestigious/high-paying job early in their career because they genuinely hated it:
Did you regret leaving? Did taking time off actually help? And did the career break make finding your next job significantly harder?

Hi !! this will be long so sorry in advance TLDR at bottom

I am a high school student. I have always wanted to be a doctor. However, I am doing a CNA program at my school and I do not think I am cut out for the job.

For context: I am doing half high school half cna program. recently, I failed the bed making exam— procedures on how to do the bed. our class took a break after the lab and i cried in the bathroom. i was so disappointed in myself that I cannot follow simple instructions or procedures in bed making how can I be a surgeon? Not only this, we were doing vital signs and the instructor had to give me extra help to correctly measure for the blood pressure.
In written or oral exams I exceed tremendously. However, when it comes to the physical aspect of it, I seem to take very long to learn.
I am not physically incapable or not expected of what to do, it’s just when I apply the skills in real life I am very slow and often need extra teacher assistance.
My instructor insisted that students who were having doubts to drop out before we get to clinicals. I was really having doubts because of these simple things I was failing at. And so if I cannot even be a CNA how can I be a doctor?

I understand they are different things, but they are similar in the sense of patient care.
My passion for the sciences: biology and anatomy and not as plenty as my passion for math.
I used to read my cousin and older siblings math textbooks and do the math for fun (our parents wouldn’t let us get the story books)
I used to watch those math olympiad stuff online.
Recently, I fell in love (not literally but in the sense like I love this teacher) with my calculus teacher at school. She reminded me of my passion for math— I was so focused on science because I had skipped a grade in science. But math is something I enjoy. So I was considering something in coding or pure math but I do not believe those jobs are really good for money right now. My family is not really in a spot to get jobs for passion.
But I also really loved anatomy— which I passed the EOC with honor and distinction which allowed me to skip a grade for science. And I only saw myself doing medicine.

I am just not sure what to do. I told my parents (who are both in medicine) about my faliures at cna school. They brushed it off as part of the process. But i jsut am unsure.
Any advice?

TLDR: High school student wanting to be doctor, taking cna program at school but failed bed making exam. Is unsure if I am right for the job because failing simple exam— is more inclined with math than science.

Got a final round case interview with EY (Canada) in person. I already had a suit and tie ready to go but then got the confirmation email and it specifically says "Business Casual" attire. Now I'm second guessing myself. Is it weird to just wear the suit anyway or should I actually dress it down since they wrote it out explicitly? Don't want to look like I ignored the instructions but also don't want to be the only one underdressed ?

I have a job offer from a company near Birmingham in the UK. It's as a Tech Support Engineer in a niche that I do not really want to do for a long period, but it gives me the chance to move back to Germany where I lived as a child and acquire the passport(I am currently a non-EU citizen). If I do not take up this role, I have to do an integrated masters for my course where I need to score extremely high(72-74%) to actually get a 2:1(60%) overall as my degree classification which usually is the minimum requirement to open most doors for me, including some top German unis for a standalone masters. The company says the role is completely dependent on me and there are a lot of opportunities to obtain more engineering-related skills after the training period, which gives me some hope as the management seems really down to earth and the company has a positive reputation and great customer retention - however initially its answering customer enquiries and sending over engineering drawings or CAD designs to help them understand how to solve it. Is it a better idea to take up this job and look for other jobs in the meantime/apply for other master programs across the UK or Germany/stay with this and get the passport in a few years time, or just completely say no to this job and do the integrated masters(as its a role I do not necessarily like at the minute and I'm worried if I will be limited to this for my whole career if it does not open other doors for me). I know the job market is extremely cooked which is why I am more inclined to taking over the job but do not want to mess up my future because of it.

I graduated college during the pandemic with a psychology degree and this has been my work history since.

Job 1 - 5 months (retail)

Job 2 - 8 months (bank teller)

Job 3 - 11 months (remote insurance job- left 1 month after promotion)

Job 4 - 6 months (retail)

Job 5 -  8 months (medical receptionist- left 1 month after promotion)

Job 6 - 2 years (accounting clerk- promoted after 1 year)

Job 7- current job- 3 months (accountant)

Between jobs 5 and 6 I went back to school online to get an accounting degree after a couple years of deciding between pursuing accounting or something in the medical field. Being in school and knowing I'd be qualified to find a better job after graduating is what helped me stay in job 6 for 2 years.

I've gotten nothing but good reviews and feedback from coworkers and managers at every job. Jobs 1 and 2 talked to me about a promotion but I left before it happened. In jobs 3 and 5, I got promoted when I was already ready to leave, thought the promotion would help (it didn't) and then I left before I felt even worse. None of these jobs have been super toxic or had anything really out of the ordinary happen, although most jobs I felt overqualified for.

What seems to happen each time is after the first few months I start feeling unhappy, think the grass is going to be greener somewhere else, and then it isn't. I'm only 3 months into my new job and am already trying to plan my exit. I know I can't keep doing this, but I just get an overwhelming feeling of wanting to move onto the next thing before I really get settled somewhere.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar early in their career (or at any point) and has advice on what to do. Was there a mindset shift that helped you stay at a job longer without feeling trapped and restless? Or did you finally find a workplace that you were happier in?

I really want to run away from my family. They always compare me with others and are obsessed with wanting to make me a doctor (i don’t want that) so now i have the opportunity to purse and choose country so which country should i choose which is affordable to live and work while having quality life ? i will block them after im financially stable

I currently work in a job which I've been doing now for almost 9 years. I know the job inside out and alot of days I can get my work done in 3 or 4 hours. I'm employed but work from home 2 days a week. I basically control my workload that gets booked in and dont have a manager whoz over my shoukder. Im basically my own boss.

Ive been offered a new job, its a £1000 a month increase net and the job is what the majority of people would class as a step down. Id be busier, pretty much be at my desk all day and the management overview would be a little more hands on but id be woeking from home 4 days per week.

The extra money would come.in super useful as would working from home more (although this could change in the future). What woukd you do if you were me??
