I am in a pickle.
Apparently people in my skillset are in demand and also hard to find in Cincinnati right now. I'm stuck at a job I don't particularly like, but I've only been there for three months and I'm afraid if I leave it'll look like I job jump. I got an email from a recruiter listing out all these nice, flashy jobs, but they all say 'Senior' behind the job title and my less than three years of experience is making me question whether it's worth risking my current job interviewing for the others.
Also, there have been hints that I might be taking over my manager's position if he goes and accepts another position. While I don't know how likely this is seeing as my manager is a manipulative snake, I feel like I should at least wait until end of year reviews to see how things go... See if my career path even forks out of my current job, let alone if I should take the road out.
Or maybe there's not supposed to even be a road. Maybe I'm supposed to go off the road. But then again maybe I'm already off the damn thing.
Fuck this road metaphor. I could be letting a serious opportunity pass me up no matter which way I decide to go.
How the hell am I supposed to get more blog followers with posts like THIS
Provide insight. If you have to carefully weigh the options, they're equally good.
ReplyDeleteSo do you want a management position? Are the flashy jobs management? I have just been through a similar situation, and will write a post about it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with whatever you do-- it never hurts to investigate those jobs, and you can do so without alerting your current employer.

@Gauss,
ReplyDeleteB... But I'm looking FOR insight. XD
@Planetx,
The flashy jobs are not management. They're just senior level positions. I'm seriously considering it...
