You can leave your job that you're not unhappy with and discover what you really liked about it by going somewhere else.
My pleasure.
There's a couple of things.
You know, one that's gotten a great deal of attention is that during the pandemic, people supposedly had more time to really think about
what it is that they want from their careers, what's missing from their current jobs.
And in response, many of them have made significant changes to their work lives, changing jobs, changing industries, changing often the ways that they make money to not be dependent on a more traditional nine to five job.
But there's also considerations like before the pandemic, we had seen wages taking up a little bit in a really tight
labor market.
And now as companies are really struggling to fill roles and workers are moving around so much, wages are ticking up quite a bit.
And so if you've been hoping for a raise for a long time, the last year has been a really great time to get one because it's a job seekers market.
Lots of people are joining that market trying to get what they're looking for.
It depends on why they left their role.
So for example, the man I spoke with who had been happy in his job but felt like everybody else is getting a big new job, I should be too, landed a new job, expanded responsibilities, more resources, more pay pretty quickly.
But he said starting that new job, which also was fine and where he wasn't unhappy, made it that much clearer to him what he had really loved about his previous job.
He had loved being on a smaller staff and having really visible
You know, he loved working directly
on day-to-day projects in addition to being part of the big picture.
So that can happen.
You can leave your job that you're not unhappy with and discover what you really liked about it by going somewhere else.
But also I spoke with workers who said that after what they've been through in the last two years, they were unwilling to settle for an unprofessional environment or a job that turned out not to be the way it was described.
