I’ve noticed that timing plays a huge role in career moves, from funding cycles to hiring freezes to personal life events. Sometimes great opportunities appear at inconvenient moments. Learning patience has been part of the process. How do you decide when to make a major career move?

When my hand is forced, either by finances, unemployment or life circumstances. I'm not going to sit around and wait for the perfect moment to make a change, because there's always reason(s) not to. You have to figure out when to pay heed to them and when to ignore them.

The company I am at may force my hand. They’ve added at least 50% more work to our loads and it’s only getting worse.
Time to begin looking.

I’m always open to a move
If the benefits and salary line up I’ll take a jump for a bit

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.
