New Job - Leaving Comfort Zone
After graduating Uni with a Masters I've decided to leave my current job with a company I've been with for 20 years. Seems out there in other similar roles I can earn 10K more than I currently do... all a bit daunting though - has anyone else done similar?

Will £10k buy you happiness?
On the other hand, changes can be a good thing. Nobody can answer this for you fella. Only you know the best option for you. :thumb: |
You could always run a B&B with F1 Fan, should it not work out.

What did you Master, DCI? Good luck with your new job. :thumb: I have changed a few jobs. Not because I can't stick to anything:D (quite the opposite, actually), but because I do like to attempt new challenges in terms of tasks, so I take on time-limited projects. 20 years is a long time to stay with one company, and leaving must to be a dauting experience for you, I understand. But in a new place, 6 months are usually enough to settle. Always keep your reactions in check at the new place. Even when I haven't stuck to a job for as long as 20 years (The longest was 10 years for me), I have felt that the new place was winding me up, because it was different. I kept lid on my reactions, and in 6 months, I was operationg comfortably at the new place. Its human nature to avoid change. We can challenge this nature, and better ourselves. Good luck. :thumb: |

Yes, right at the moment, recently gained promotion from a job I have been doing and doing well for 10 years. I really gunned for the job, but as soon as I got the letter the sweats started. :D
just believe in yourself and do the best you can, if you are given the job somebody else must already think you are capable! |

That's the way to do it. :thumb: Cogratulations to you, Mark. :cool: |
If you are doing a similar role and can be paid an extra £800 plus a month, I don't blame ya.
Its amazing how companies have different ways of working even though they are in the same trade, thats what I have found in the Pre print/Repro trade. |

He was originally disappointed when he began to study it. He totally misunderstood what the final outcome would be. Next study session he left his mags and love sock at home. :lol1:

Funny how someone with a history of being so full of himself on this BBS gets all precious about something as basic as moving jobs...
Although on reflection, what is there to be surprised about :lol1: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...184041-580.jpg |
I'm not old enough to have worked for a company for 10 years :lol1:
I hope the new job is worth it. As they say, if you find a job you love you will never work a day in your life. |
