Not sure - I need advice, a shoulder to cry on, both...😬 I'm older & a Legal Assistant for an Attorney that's volatile. This is a new career for me and I'm on the fence for getting Paralegal Certified, Unfortunately, because if how I feel here (this is just a paycheck to me), The Attorney wants me to get certified so they can charge more. I doubt I'll get much of a raise to make the cost of classes worth it.. I'm not happy here... & Age-ism is VERY REAL...😔 Do I look elsewhere? Can't retire.

Well, if the attorney wants you to get certified that much then I would at least try to have a conversation with them about covering the cost of your training. If they're not willing to do that, then your best bet would probably be to find another job since you're that unhappy there. And if they do cover the cost then you get to upskill and eventually leave for a better job regardless.

I mean if you don't like where you are at, it isn't always worth it to stay in a place that is volatile. I would make it my mission to find a better work environment elsewhere. Are you able to move to make your chances of finding another job greater? Do you feel like you owe it to them to stay for giving you a chance and that is why you are hesitating leaving?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
