ADVICE PLEASE - I’m desperate to leave my current role but I’m concerned I have become over specialised in one area. I’d like to get back to geography type fieldwork (have some time away from a screen), but it seems like a world away right now. I’m tempted to go back to hospitality just so I can start to have a change of pace and work with others in person, has anyone done something similar/have any advice? My current position is making me quite unhappy day to day.

My thoughts are that you get a part time job for evenings and weekends where you interact with others. Maybe try Uber or Lyft giving rides and talking to others. Do hospitality part time like in a hotel, bartending, or restaurant. If you’re good with your hands, try plumbing or construction. Don’t leave until you’re sure you can replace your income.

Hi All,

I’m new to this bowl. My experience is in accounting but I’m looking to transition to defense sector consulting. My undergrad degree is in criminal justice and then went the business route for grad. I’m looking to get back to my roots. Does anyone here have experience in weighing Georgetown’s SSP program (or similar) versus an MBA?

TIA!

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

Hi fish,

Kindly consider this as most confused situation of my life and reply.

Does a non-tech PMO candidate can also achieve 30-50 LPA in just 5-6 years of experience as you technical people are achieving.

Please also suggest, should I continue in this PMO and go for PMP, Prince2 then try or just learn some technical things and then can only expect this much package?

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
