It happens. Leaving the confidence issue aside, is this the sort of step up that is natural in your current role? And is it the sort of thing you would have envisaged progressing to?

Not everyone wants the next job up. But if you do, don't let an opportunity pass you by unless you have other concerns about the role or the company.

Confidence is something you can always get back, but it doesn't reappear by itself.

Yeah it would be the next step. I was hoping it would happen in my current place but due to lots of changes I am stuck in the same position for many years. I am pretty much doing all the stuff I would be doing in the more senior role but without being compensated for it. Actually worse off financially than the same time last year due to wanting us back in the office more and a crap bonus.

How long have you been at your current place?

How long have you been at your current place?

9 years, But the company I originally worked for were bought out. and finally last year all the old guard left that I liked. I may be able to work with them in the future as they have set up shop doing the samething but legal action stops me going there at least until later this year and they are just starting up.

Do you think you might be institutionalised, to some extent? I know I am

Well was always hoping for better days to come after covid, then the merger thing, but now it's just mayhem every week.

Mayhem isn't good.....

Nothing major happening

but if you had the following 2 options what would you go for.

Option 1) large company with a decent jump in salary. a lot more at home than before. but much the same.

Option 2) smaller company but almost double the salary and you are not quite sure you are cut out for the job even if it's somewhat similar but not hiding and it's a gamble, but you feel like an imposter.

the background is you worked for our current job for nearly 10 years.

Take it from me Pat, you must leave your present job and strike out for the new. Never let I will wait on I would. This is because everybody where you work dislikes you. They grudgingly concede your are reasonably clever but think you're a bit of a whiny tosser with an inflated opinion of his own abilities. You can use your new job to reinvent yourself ... good luck

That's what everyone thinks of me at my work.

It is one of the main reasons I refuse to leave
