Been searching for a job since March. Have had plenty of interviews and offers. Nothing has been worth it. But I am really unhappy at my job. It’s a drag and I don’t enjoy a moment of it. It’s hurting my practice. I wish I could just quit and wait for the right job, but I can’t do that with a family to support. Anyone in the same situation? Advice?

I had this issue last year. I was still a cop and places were refusing to hire me because of it. I…went to a bad place (mentally). I ended up taking my first tech offer and then did NOTHING there, but stuck it out for 6 months and now I’m at a much much better job. Sometimes it takes time unfortunately.

Having someone to talk to helps and remember it’s ok to fail or get discouraged, just gotta get back up after

What abt the other offers hasn’t been worth it? Can you take one just to get out of your current gig you hate? You dnt have to stay forever, you can leave when you get THE job, the one you really want. Life is too short to be miserable. Good luck

Comparative analysis. I asked colleagues with similar experience around here what they make. Also just valuing myself and my skills. Almost 4 years of practice, bilingual, and hefty court experience.

Have you explore why are you unhappy with your job? If you are unsure, you may not find happiness with a new company. You may run into the same challenges. Maybe you can focus on fixing the situation while you search.

Will this be a hire to fire case?

I need more insight. I just got done with my on-site interview (flew 1,000 miles) they paid for everything. I had interviews with the director, CNO, and fellow managers. The CNO was fourth coming with all information and said they would develop me to reach my career goals. The managers were telling me the good school districts etc. and we’re agreeing with my answers during the interview. I’m probably going to end up over analyzing everything until I hear back. Any thoughts?
