Graduated 2 years ago. Needed a job so took pharma job. I like it, I just like agency environment in general but it’s to slow in terms of projects (legal reviews slow everything down dramatically) I have something very important going on in Aug so I’m not gonna apply anywhere before that, but would like to get any advice on what can I do in meantime to prepare myself for that switch, spec work networking?

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
