Irecently made a huge mistake. I started my career at my company in my early twenties and, over the last six years, worked my way up to senior role. I enjoyed going to work, valued what I was doing, worked alongside my best friends, respected my manager, and earned a good salary. It felt like a family.
But at around the six-year mark I started to get itchy feet. I saw some friends jumping to other companies and lamenting that they hadn’t done it sooner – it gave me major grass-is-greener syndrome. Finally, I took the leap to a much bigger company where I hoped to learn a lot.
Flashforward to a few months later, and I hated it. My workload was overwhelming, I didn’t connect with the team, I was being micro-managed and the training was flimsy – it honestly felt like everyone was too burned
