Would you change jobs after 13 years? email this discussion to a friend?

rxtech2004 (19)3 months ago

I have been at the same job since I was 18 and I am now 31. There is a chance for me to get a better job (more money and state benefits), but I am scared to death of leaving the familiar. Starting over and learning a new program is why I am having doubts. Would you leave the familiar?

I've left the familiar a couple of times in my life and didn't have any problems learning the ropes, in my case, in entirely new industries. If you have a good future with your present company and you are happy there, then stay, but if you are in a dead end job and have the skills necessary to excel in the new position, you should seriously consider going for it. You get up every morning and go to work to earn money and work towards your future. If this job isn't going to help you to advance, it's holding you back.

I wouldn't say it is a dead end job, but this one that I am thinking about is in the same field, but the hours are better, and NO weekends! I have my resume typed and ready for Tuesday. So, I still have some time to think about it!

It sounds pretty good to me. You also have to consider whether either your present company or the potential new one is financially solid so you don't have to worry about being layed off if the economy continues to struggle.
