I’m reporting to an insecure manager and feel my career growth is coming to a complete halt and mental health is down the drain.

In the middle of green card process, but can’t do this for 2 more years. Need to figure a solution out of this. Internal mobility is limited as I’m in a senior position at a 10k tech company.

Is my best option to pull the plug and leave?

I feel for you as I’m in a similar situation with an insecure manager who is determined to hold me back. I’m also looking internally without much luck, but I’m planning to start looking externally once my stock vests. Essentially, if I can’t make something change in the next 5 months, I’m going to pull the plug.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
