Find a job you do care about. Life is too short to spend the majority of your waking hours on things that don't matter to you.

Of course anything worthwhile takes effort.

You don't care or are you just not good?

Is it a subject matter issue, a management issue, or something else?

Hmm haven’t really thought that far into it. I have been told I’m good at the role and received good feedback. But it was when I first started the position. There are things I can def do to grow but I have no motivation too because I have no interest in being good at the task other then maybe getting promoted. But I’m not motivated by money atm.

Feeling a bit lost, working as a Mid-Market account manager for a listed company in Aus and moved across from marketing (3yrs exp) last year.

Company restructures so I've landed in an great paying position but it's a dead end and will probably be made redundant in 12-18 mths, and it's a tick box role (won't learn much tbh).

Do I look to go back to marketing with a pay cut, look at a different company in sales (but don't have much exp), or ride this out and reassess in 6-12mths? Thank you.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
