It won’t go back to normal quickly - it will take time. They say it’s worse than 9/11 and the 2008 recession, combined. We’ll need to adjust our expectations, be prepared, and ride this out. You are not alone.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
