I want to look for another job because I feel like I deserve more but but am trying to be grateful for what I have in this terrible job market. Is it wise to look and leave elsewhere if I find something? Right now what I have is stable but am not growing much

It’s easy to forget you don’t owe your company anything. If you genuinely feel that you’d be happier elsewhere then go for it. There’s nothing wrong with looking at other places too, nobody knows.

Thank you!

See if you can find something. Easy to feel this way, hard to get superior offers

Thank you 🥹

Honestly, I've been out of a job for about nine months and it's pretty tough out here. If you have something stable but not particularly fulfilling, consider finding new ways to bring meaning back into your current job. You could also start looking for something. The best time to look for a job is when you still have one!

And hope you get employed at a great place soon too 🤍

It really doesn't hurt to look around if you feel ready to move onto something else. I would try to make sure your current job never finds out that you are looking, though. This job market is every bit as bad as people make it out to be, and you don't want to find yourself between jobs. People are going unemployed for very long periods and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Thank you appreciate your perspective. Have you ever applied using a company computer or do you always use your own computer??

I stayed too long once at a “safe” job because of fear, and I regretted it. When I finally left, I realized I was way more capable than I thought. You could do what my friend did, she started applying to roles while at the job, just so she could stay as long as possible until she found her next role, the one that made sense to her. I took to long to do that.

How long did you stay? I want to start applying but I’m also nervous about jumping to something unstable. Thanks for this

What's the harm? I wouldn't expect to land something immediately since the job market seems pretty tough right now. But with that being said, I don't see any downside to looking. The worst that can happen is you don't find anything and have to keep the stable, boring job. Best case scenario you receive a great offer and can move on.

What if you find something, would you automatically leave ?
