Choose to no longer hate it.

What specifically do you hate about the job?

How do you feel when you make a new client or have a small win in this job?

If you could create more of that, would you still hate it?

Do you feel energized after meeting with a client or talking to people, or does it drain you?

I think there came a time where I got very bored with the job; monotonous. The way I turned it around was to spend time doing things I enjoyed. The freedom then became the thing I love most about the job which gives me high job satisfaction today. I do lots of things away from the office which results in new assets but also I have someone at the office taking care of immediate needs.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

The "confrontation" is really difficult for me lol. I actually like my current boss and she's been helpful and made me feel like she looks out for me too. But the new opportunity is too good to pass up on (huge increase to pay. No concerns on the team since ive worked with those people in the past in a different company)

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
