How does dream job know they won’t hire for 18 months? I would just look for another job

like

On top of everyone’s valid advice, your “dream job” might change. Just focus on challenging yourself and growing creatively. If your current agency isn’t doing it for you, then it’s just time to go to another place.

However I am a big believer in trying to make every situation feel like a “dream.” If there is work you want to do, try pitching it. If there are things you want to improve on, see if your agency will pay for a class. If there are people you wanna work with, ask em’.

You should find something better to do with your time for the next 2 years. Dream job will be interested then if they're interested now.

Echoing everyone else, find a new job. Why be miserable for a chance at possible opportunity for a place that isn’t hiring for 18 months?

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
