Need some advice. I really like my team, agency and work life balance, but haven’t had anything portfolio worthy. The work is boring and doesn’t excite me.

I am actively interviewing and feel guilty for doing so. I know I can land a better opportunity and potentially be paid more.

If the next gig goes not as better as expected, you just go after something else. All goo to feel guilty or afraid or whatever. But feel it while pursuing what's best for you!

Don’t feel guilty. You need to make decisions based on your needs, and right now it sounds like your needs require you to move on.

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

I joined KPMG a while ago from federal consulting. Federal consulting had super good work life balance but I’ve been working at KPMG strategy for a while now.
