Life choices

I am 30, and feeling stagnant at my current workplace after 3 years. The learning curve has eased about a year ago. Now i have an opportunity that offers a 10% increment (ok but not fantastic), andit is a job with responsibilities that i am unsure if i can conquer. Part of me wants to try, but a major part of me is afraid of the heavy expectations that comes with the job - what if i miss their mark? Anyone been in my shoes before?

​

*My current job is like a retirement home, perfect schedule, with hybrid working model. Perfect work life balance, just 0 learning curve.

But what if you try out the new job n find out that you take to it like a duck to water? Think positive!

I was in your shoe a few years ago, and i took the leap to change to the new job. wasn't as lucky as you as i had pay cut. But no regret, as I learnt alot and get exposed to new areas. is challenging with steep learning curve but eventually conquered the fear and challenge.

If you want to retire in this job/company, maybe ask for exposure to new areas to learn something new without having to change job. The choice is yours, one will never get to know what is at the other side of the fence until one get over to experience it. There are bound to be risks and gains to consider. Don't burnt bridge at current job, leave something to get chance to return if things doesn't go well outside. All the best!

In the past, career ladder might stagnant usually about 40-50 at the high management position. Perhaps depends in your industry and your field. Jia you! 30 years old still young... can chiong another 20 years. :)Nice thanks sharing

My advice would be to carefully weigh the pros and cons, and don't let the fear of the unknown hold ...
