Hi everyone,
Im currently a part time uni student and ive been working for full time for 2yrs as a Business Analyst at the same company.
Ive never really felt contented with my current job and its taking a toll on my mental health especially with the stagnant pay and i just feel empty.
Thinking of doing a career switch to being a school counsellor as i enjoy listening to people and genuinely want to help someone. Any counsellors here can share your work experience? Hows it like daily?

Not a school counsellor but people in my network are. It's a slog there as well. Not enough time in a day to have meaningful conversations with students and it's all about the quantity of students met, not quality. Then there's also the administrative components of the job which you can't let slide and salary can be stagnant. Not trying to sound discouraging but sharing the lived experience of others.

Great thought from M1 - not only does volunteering give you the good feeling from giving your time, you can sometimes try out areas you’re interested in to get exposure BEFORE you do something like go get a Master’s to get a job that you don’t really know much about.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
