Thinking of Quitting my "Real" Job

[vintagesnaps]

Might have been better staying for the one year commitment (I don't know if leaving early would get you a good reference or not) then when the first year was up might have been the time to find a different job. No point in staying long term in a job you don't like, but the govt. job sounds currently short term and I don't know that it will be good to have had two jobs where you didn't stay long, maybe it depends on the type of work. Not sure then what/why you were asking if you already gave notice - can't put the cows back in the barn now! lol

22 and no big financial obligations like student loans or mortgage? Definitely a good move to find something you like better now before other responsibilities prevent you from doing what YOU want to do.

And when all the awesome TPF advice leaves you more confused, flip a coin, ask your tarot cards, or see a psychic. :giggle:

Well it's because they originally hired me under the assumption that I would stay for a year.

So they were right.
You were going to leave.

So the company had a flat valuation on your skills and figured they could replace you easily.

I've hired people like that. And you get out of then exactly as you expect.
No disrepect ... just a business thing when you hire younger employees. Younger employees want more money quickly and the best way of doing that is job jumping. But jumping too many jobs on a resume also brings up red flags of short employment. Companies like to keep people on the short term about 3-5 years. Retraining, etc comes into play of valuation of the job then.

Those have too many "grey area" answers for me.
I married DH after two weeks on a coin flip. So far, so good.
Just make sure to find one that feels lucky first.

That was a good read. As someone who held many waitress and bartending jobs to supplement my income until I got established in my field, I can relate to the author's pov.

Just make sure you think it through... REALLY think it through. Make a decision then wait a while before acting on it. You dont want to change your mind after you've already quit.
