How do you know when the next move is right? I don’t like my current position at all, I have an offer from a smaller healthcare focused consulting firm doing ERP implementation. I have no idea what I want my next job to be, it sounds interesting enough but I’m unsure if I’m just hopping from one bad positon to another I won’t like.

As a counter to that, I had to get uncomfortable enough to want to leave, and at that point I was ready to take anything. Leaving for an ok job allowed me to de-stress, and open my eyes to opportunities beyond that gap job, and not long after accepting a much better role at IBM.

Nothing is permanent, if you are unhappy, then change is a good thing.

Don’t stick around if you already know this is what you don’t want to do. That’s already a learning for your career journey. It’s diff if you know it’s tough and it’s gonna help your career and you’re just being a wanker about it.

Just be thankful for the xp and that you can now move on to something else new and different for you. And how do you know you won’t like your next opportunity if you haven’t even given it a chance yet?

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
