Would you quit your job to try to find a new career if you had enough money to do so? So far my office is all ‘yes’, every single person I’ve asked would quit the second they had enough money to take the time to find a new career…how are they still making us all feel so ‘lucky to be here’ if none of us really want to be here?

Depends entirely on how much money you think “enough” is. “A new career” isn’t “take my current experience and apply it in a new way,” it’s “do something else entirely.”

How far down the ladder will you have to start? How long will it take to get back to your current earning ability? Will there be training or education involved?

If all you’ve ever known is a steady full-time job that bores you or doesn’t fulfill you, think *real* hard about how the rest of your life functions when you don’t have that steady, boring paycheck cashing every Friday.

What kind of business if you don’t mind sharing? I’ve had the same thoughts but taking the leap is a different story.

You’re currently in advertising, so yes. No question.

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?
