Was going to hand in my resignation and told mentors and people I trust who I work with long term on projects (a really small amount of people) but now I’m starting to regret it as I’m leaving with no job opportunity lined up. I have under two years experience and on a graduate scheme which to say the least hasn’t gone well from a programme perspective but I do like the work and people I work with. Am I making the right decision? Should I just stick it out? What would you do?

Omg terrible decision sorry! Please don’t leave a secure job without another one, especially in this climate. Better to actively job hunt whilst still employed .

In this market??

Don’t do it. It’s so hard to find work currently. Stick it out unless you have a Jesus-like networking connect.

Yeah definitely lesson learned. Luckily I hadn’t told as many people.

If you like the work and the people then what is the issue?

Consultant. There tends to be no structure in most places. Everyone tends to pump fake structure and cleanliness. It’s only in the upper echelon we tend to see structure.

In this market you’d find more messy roles.

Hi Fishes,

My sibling (from India) applied for Canadian Visa for study permit (2 years) and it was rejected stating the reason "the IRCC agent was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.
The intake was in Jan 2023.

Should we apply again? Has anyone ever experienced this and would appreciate if they can guide me? I'm really worried and emotionally tormented. Need urgent help.
