I've worked in social care for most of my work life and I absolutely need a change from social/healthcare! I'm not sure what to do or where to look, I just know I need to leave. Has anyone made the change from this sector into something completely different?

It's common to pivot and change course as you go through life. The best way to do this is to find a quiet place and jot down two lists: One for the aspects of your job that you enjoy doing, and one for functions you dislike.

For instance, let's say you enjoy finding community resources to help your clients with, but you don't like filling out reports and documenting everything.

This would tell me that you're people-oriented and not process-oriented. So, you may want to look for jobs helping others but with less documentation. Something like working in an academic office, supporting recruiters by scheduling candidate interviews, working in retail, etc. You'd really have to look at what you enjoy doing.

Hope that helps!

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
