Thinking about leaving the first job that gave me a chance. Been here a couple years, but I’m thinking it’s time to move on. How do I know if it’s the right move or if I’m just burnt out from lack of work/life balance caused by WFH? I’m so nervous to jump.

For me it was when I was happy with the new knowledge, skill, and confidence that I have gained, and when those starts to feel like they are plateauing in a way. Doesn't mean I couldn't have stayed and learn anymore but it started to feel like a wall was stopping me from progressing that much more

Burn out can play major role, sometimes new scenery is just what we need also

We all eventually make the jump and journey to new places, it's nervous and scary but worth it. You'll make the right decision OP

CD1 I climbed my way up to where I am now in a pretty impressive amount of time imo and don’t know if I can learn much more here than I could anywhere else. I have a pretty compelling story and one big crowning achievement, but it’s been a bit since I’ve had the same luck and I’ve been feeling like I’m just not the right fit for the industry we work in

It’s healthy and normal to move on. Whether for new perspectives, more money, different experiences etc. close your eyes and jump.

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.

Would like some thoughts on a 2-br NYC condo my husband and I are considering. $250K HHI (no kids). No loans or debts, both have newish cars fully paid off.

Offer would be for $725K, with 10 percent down. 30yr mortgage @5%. We would need to include closing costs in the mortgage, to keep about $10k liquid. Monthly costs will be about $5k.

This unit is special, very rare (we’ve rented in the area for 10 yrs and know the local market well). Should we go for it?
