> I am worried about burning bridges
If you’re working with good people, leaving a job on good terms shouldn’t result in burnt bridges. Especially if you’ve been voicing your concerns and nothing has changed. I know I’m welcome back at any place I’ve ever worked - every time I’ve left for a better / more suitable role or to take time off (I’m currently taking a few years off due to burnout), my managers / bosses have been very supportive.
> Am I right in preparing to leave rather than to try to fight my way into the positions I want?
Absolutely. In fact this is expected. It’s usually faster to grow your career horizontally opposed to vertically.
- giantg2 4y agoAgree about burning bridges. I would add you're more likely to burn bridges by staying while being burnt out. That's been my experience. I have polar opposite reputations depending on who you ask based on my pre-burnout teams and post-burnout team.
- proper_elb 4y agoMakes sense!
- proper_elb 4y agoThank you for the reassurance - and all the best on your recovery! Tech will still be around a while ;) > It’s usually faster to grow your career horizontally opposed to vertically. Ah so that is the meaning of that saying!
