Accept changes in role or jump ship?
If you role within your company is changing in a way less to your liking, are you accepting those changes or opting to jump ship? In the development space and a lot of projects not going great, mostly attributed to just bad management by higher ups and overinflated expectations at my shop. Currently, being asked to take on property management, not asset management. Not on board for that as I still have to keep up with what's already on my plate and now deal with additional administrative work for property management.
I'm getting so frustrated at this point because while management has praised me there's been no true face value on any of that. No bonuses, no raises, nothing extra, keep getting sold short. Granted, i do understand the market and lots of shops are letting people go because of that. I really want to quit but i'm torn if it'd be wiser to stick it out and hold onto my job? Taking time off between jobs wouldn't be a bad thing because i've felt so mentally shot by continually dealing with big problems at work that don't get fixed or just get worst. Thoughts? Ideas? Recommendations here?
Highly recommend not quitting unless you are prepared to potentially go 1 year without a job. Hiring is brutal for CRE/banks/tech right now. Can look for new jobs while remaining at your current job.
yeah the thought of waiting 1 year sounds terrible but i think i probably need to use the holiday to reset and get myself a proper strategy so i don't get stuck in a bad situation.
Stick it through while you shop for another job, it's tough out there right now.
When you get the next job, try to get a few weeks between leave your current company and starting the next gig to give yourself some vacation.
Yeah, I'm hoping to stick it out until i can secure something else and then hopefully i can push out the start date so that i can take a break! The market is for sure not kind to candidates right now so that lingers in my mind.
I mean 1000000% don't quit before you have something else lined up. Suck it up and you can start interviewing elsewhere. Have you broached the compensation issue with your boss though?
In regards to comp, they're citing "tough times" so no additional pay to be given
Stick with it while you look for a new role. Just be really careful with everything, hiring is terrible right now.
Even if I were to be looking to jump ship I’d be asking future employers a lot about their own stability (not that bluntly but you get the point)
