Hi - I have recently decided to resign at a regional firm growing pretty quickly. I've gotten so burned out and I lost my passion for it and PA in general. I resigned and grateful they are giving me the opportunity to work part time as an independent contractor because I'm moving abroad and going on a journey to figure out which country. (Politics didn't help the situation). Hopefully gain my sanity, mental and physical health back. Can anybody share thoughts on their experiences?

Not at all, I’ve been there and it sucks. Doubt this person even has a plan to successfully stay in a foreign country for a lengthy period of time. Believe it or not, other countries actually enforce their immigration laws and you can’t just hang out for as long as you feel.

They're nice that you can still be with them as independent contractor. You do have a place to fall back.
Take your time and discover yourself.
I too resigned from my organization after 7 years and left for the west to continue with some education, now that is complete and im again looking for work, i know the process is overwhelming but you will never regret your decisions.

Working for a regional firm and definitely struggling with burnout as well. I dream of handing in my 2 weeks notice everyday... I'd love to resign but have to complete a full year or I have to pay for Becker. Take this time for YOU! Breathe, rest, and think about what you truly want to spend your time doing.

go to be sr accountant instead of manager then less burned out
visit asian country is best thing

Thoughts? This seems decent based on my research but couldn't find a ton of data points. What is the career trajectory/opportunity like is a Google CE?

For example at other tech companies I've heard only about 10% of a team might receive refreshers each year

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
