I am 40 years old. I see no career progression as a research assistant. Should I find work elsewhere?

I am 40 years old with a PhD in early childhood research working as a research assistant at NIE, NTU. I see no career progression in this role. What is your suggestion? Should I find work elsewhere?

It depends on what do you want from your career right now. If the lack of progression is killing you (spiritually), it's time to leave.

It is subjective based on personal preference. Do u want to progress further or are you contented right now? If option 1, then change otherwise stay put

I’m a 24 year old graduate. Should I quit my job as a private tutor (home-based, 40 students), earns me 6k and can develop into tuition ctr or find job that pays 3.5k? Money VS social life (since I work on nights and weekends, and I’m home-based)?

I’ve been working for 7 years now in a healthcare job with little career progression. Should I stay or leave given the pandemic and have I committed career suicide by staying so long?
