Career crossroads
Hi, in my mid 30s. Been working for a small company the past 4 years and paid decent ($135k pa). Working hours are great and don’t have much stress or pressure.
Bosses are ok, no need work on weekends and pretty much chill for all holidays (get to take leave for long leave etc). In an ideal world, this sounds like a perfect job. But tbh I really have no challenge at work, everyday is just BAU and mundane tasks.
Also, I don’t think can get promotion/salary raise anytime soon. Don’t exactly dread coming to work because things and task are easy to complete.
Should I jump ship and take a paycut for a new role (not much experience) or just stay being comfortable at where I am at the moment till…. Don’t know when?
Here are what netizens think:
- Before you leave, please pm me. I go apply.
- Everyone want your job but here you kpkb want change job. Must be kuku ah u
- Do state ur conpany and position. And also recommend your boss ur replacement, me
- Sounds to me like you are not looking to build yourself up more on the financial front. So other than money, you might want to think about what motivates you and what are you passionate about? Your need for a challenge could be found in a hobby, a side business, volunteering for a social cause or just simply trying to achieve something on your bucket list. Not everything meaningful in life have to be found at work and work shouldn’t be your whole life either.
- grass always greener on other side… depends you wanna learn new skills and gets hands on experience to upgrade or not.. for your next 20 years till retirement . but if boredom doesn’t kill you, your salary’s cover current & future expenses and you got other hobbies, i’ll stay on till retirement
