That's awesome you're leaning into learning and development! It's super rewarding because you get to impact people's careers every day. Trust your gut, and see if your current workplace has any openings or chat with industry contacts to see what's needed before you make that career pivot.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

How valid do you think a Myers briggs test is for determining if a career pivot is the right move. I recently took one and the career suggestions from the results seemed to be things I was already thinking about doing anyway which was a pleasant surprise.
