So, you’ve had enough. You’ve poured your heart out, worked your fingers to the bone, and turned your hair gray, but no one seems to appreciate it. You’re unhappy, and ready to make a career change.
But there alternative solutions to seemingly hopeless situations. Before shifting gear completely, consider the suggestions offered to these problems.
Having issues dealing with people at workplace
If your issue is with your relationship with your boss, co-workers, or your company’s values, then start exploring new workplaces. You might find that your job is much more enjoyable at a place that complements your work style.
Being unseen and unappreciated
If you’re seeking validation from a prestigious title or fame, then you might be suffering from low self-esteem rather than the wrong career. Prestige is a hollow goal when it comes to careers. You’ll find yourself much unhappier if your goals are dependent on others’ approval. Try to let go of what others think and focus on you.
Getting bored at work
Yawning a little too much in your cubicle? Banish boredom by practicing your self-starter skills. Start your own side projects. Peek into others’ assignments and see if they could use your talents. Or challenge yourself to do your current job faster and better.
Looking for juicy pay check
Changing industries or careers is much more worth it for young professionals on the hunt for a fat, juicy paycheck. However, seasoned professionals are likelier to face disappointment. Often times you’ll have to take a step you’ll have to take a step down or sideways before you get to the level you were in your previous career and finally rise above that. If you’re recently out of college, this doesn’t pose much of a problem because you haven’t really begun to establish a track record, career path, or a significant upward trajectory in salary history. — Agencies
