Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.

Go for the challenge. People are invariably more resilient than we think. Also, your first experience might have been tough due to the newness of challenges. You know how to manage it better now...can identify the minefield better and adopt better. Think about it this way, what if it all goes right, how proud would you be of yourself of doing great at a job that scared you

Thank you. The issue the previous times has been the people involved. Its a tough industry and role.

I dont know what to do.

These decisions are usually so tough. Do you think the job with the offer will heighten the ptsd? You have to weight the pros on cons on this one.

Dont know if it will heighten the ptsd or not sure if its the fact that ive been wfh 2.5 years and now would have to drive 40 mins to and from 3x a wk. not sure if wfh just got me comfortable that everything about working in an office freaks me out from rushing in the mornings, leaving my dog, and the stress of the job and im not good at poker face so wfh was so easy for me

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
