If you're someone doing job hunting now, what would be the reason?

1 - Unemployed and looking for a job

2 - Transitioning into a new role/industry

3 - Unhappy with the current role and looking for something better

If you're number 3, what would be the reason for leaving your current job? Just checking on everyone to see how they are doing.

I'm looking but I'm hanging on to the job I've got. I'd just like to be doing some more interesting. And, of course, I'd like to be getting more money. So far the job search is pretty stagnant. I was hoping this year would see some improvement on that front, but I'm not seeing it yet.

I feel you on that. It’s tough when you’re stuck in a job that’s not challenging or paying what you deserve. Hopefully things pick up soon! It can be frustrating when progress feels slow, but just keep pushing and something will come through.

Definitely number 3, but I will not let go of my current role until I find another. I feel like I could be earning more, and be in a role where there isn't a glass ceiling (not in terms of gender). With the way the job market is now, I feel like I am going to searching for a while.

That's a good move. Never quit your current job if you don't have something lined up.

1 I’ve been unemployed for over a year now, it’s hard to even get an interview.

3. My workplace is gross with roaches crawling all over my desk, no parking (we are required to drive), site visits (some places are 30+ KM away from office, small team (heavy workload), and long commute for me since I love the farthest. It took me a year to get a job. So, I’m sticking to this and applying here and there.

I'm underemployed, but given the state of things, I might just hold into my current job...

I want to talk about the problems in nursing, the solutions, stories, culture, what you want other nurses to know, everything.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
