I have been in the same job for the past 9 years. I am happy here, but I feel a need to change. Team is great and friendly, pay is above average, but I am not concerned with it much as it's enough for me and my family to live happily.
Another reason I feel is that I have become comfortable here. Things are being gotten-done pretty easily. I don't have to exert myself too much. Team has faith in me. I love the ppl and do as much as possible for them (I am an Engineering Manager). But the urge to change is heavy and to some extent inexplicable to me. I already have 2 offers from other companies. I am wanting to talk to my boss, but fearing a bit. Sigh...
- sktrdie 12y agoIf you're happy why change? Yes change is almost always good. But it's similar to saying that you should leave your girlfriend simply because you've been with her for too many years. Think of a job as a relationship. If it's good both ways, no need to change.
- sidcool 12y agoThat's another way of looking at it, and that's where the confusion is stemming from. I am still undecided.
- sktrdie 12y agoIf you're undecided you're probably a bit unhappy in your current position. Therefore change! :)
- sidcool 12y agoNice revelation :) Thanks. I resigned.
- sktrdie 12y agoWow really? Well I hope you thought it through and didn't just rely on a "stranger's comment" for this decision. In any case, I wish you the best and trust you'll have the skills to find something you really love - everyone should aspire to do what they love.
- sidcool 12y agoOh no, I thought it through. There's some risk involved and some leap of faith, but I will own anything that happens. Good or bad, it's going to be my shit.
