Long time admin on the West Coast. Earlier this week I accepted a new job offer. I’m really going to miss all my peers but I feel like there is no room for me to grow :(

I think there will be a lot of admins leaving in the next 6 months. From not being able to hire to keep up with the growing demands, and being the lowest paid in the company, why would people stay? Not to mention ZS is outsourcing our jobs to India, which sends a nice clear message.

It’s there but I doubt they will listen.

There really isn’t. There’s no set way to advance as an admin. It’s luck, and who you get along with, and whether your manager pushes for you, and a bunch of other variables.

You can see how much better your work is than someone a level higher, and if you complain you get told “everyone’s journey is different.” Which just means how subjective it all is.

You made the right decision. Congrats!

Thank you for the validation. That’s what I’m also seeing in my office. I also found out how much the promotion raises were. Not worth staying snd fighting an uphill battle for promotion.

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
