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?

I don’t know when it’s worth holding out for job security versus taking the risk for progression and growth

Maybe if funds permit, take a gap year to do a MBA or a career conversion program?

7 years - just take it as sunk cost.

If you venture out to something with better prospects and it doesn't work out, Im pretty sure you can go back to your existing industry with your experience.

Do if while you're young and have relatively lower level of fixed commitments, else 10 more years from now, you'll truly be stuck and hate your life everyday.

Should I be leaving my job with hectic working conditions (above median wage), if I've cash buffers of >5 years (including mortgage), to take a break (recharge and harness future ready skills) in this current climate?

Happy New Year! Feeling a little anxious starting my career, how do i stop feeling nervous. Please also share how long on average do people get the hang of things in their new job?

How long is a good amount of time to stay in a job before leaving? I do not want to stay too long in a job as i will miss out on the pay increment but yet i am curious how long one should stay.

Third year in my job, thinking of leaving as I am not enjoying, no job satisfaction. Would you submit resignation given that there is no job secured at the moment?

I love my job. I work in the arts and media field, and I’m currently getting around 4k after 5 years of experience. Is it too little? Should I be changing jobs?
