I keep getting told to think long-term about my career. Like where I want to be in five years, what skills I want to build. But most days I’m just trying to survive the week. The workload is relentless, and planning ahead feels like a luxury I don’t have energy for. I want a future that’s better than this, but the present is overwhelming. How do you plan ahead when the day-to-day barely leaves room to breathe?

I worked in Healthcare for 15 years. Due to the constant changes the goals we set in January we're no longer relevant by June. Not everyone wants to be in a management position nor is it possible. I simply wanted to grow in my job, take on great challenges, and do my best.

It's just a matter of holding more than one thought in your mind. We have to deal with day to day reality and keep the bills paid. That's just basic. And we can also think ahead and plan for what we'd like to be doing in the future. There are plenty of choices to make, so it's just a matter of trying some of them and seeing what moves you ahead.

This is one of those high school speech class moments. You fall back on the skills you learned and B.S. your way through it when necessary. I’m focused on today. I’m not worrying about anything past tomorrow.

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
