Hi all! I am in need of some advice and not sure if I should post it here. I got offered a new job with an additional 20k in annual and more career growth. It seems like a great opportunity and I accepted the job, but have been with my current company for 7 years and I am now second guessing everything. My current role is very limited in career growth. Has this happened to you? I am so out of the loop when it comes to new jobs that I am not sure. Any feedback would be great. Appreciate it!!

Sometimes it’s easier to stay in a job that doesn’t fit because it does take an effort to transition to the new one. I really think this is why a lot of people don’t move on even when it’s not a good fit. It takes courage and listening to your gut instinct. Ask yourself this: would you still make the move for the career growth alone? I bet you would. I’ve noticed it takes about two weeks to detox from a toxic workplace that under values me. That might be what’s at work here. The devil that you know is always easier than the devil that you don’t know. Don’t doubt yourself. You are making a choice to better yourself don’t look back. I have changed jobs every two or three years since the 2008 recession when I wanted more challenge or the environment was toxic. I looked back now and don’t regret any move I made.

7 years of dedication with limited career growth? If you've been offered the next step in role.. take it! You've earned it and DESERVE IT! Do NOT second guess your worth. You got the role so you don't be intimidated and question it.
