Going back to an old job or staying here?
Hello,
In my previous job, I loved what I was doing, without giving too much details, I enjoyed being technical. The only downside is that everything at some point became an emergency when it’s not really an emergency and I think that took a toll on my mental health. I burnt out, I became very stressed out. I let my health go, because I was too tired of doing anything after work.
I found a new job, but it’s basically project work. It’s basically managing a lot of projects, coordinating and nothing really technical. I don’t believe I enjoy the work I’m given. Although I understand, others may love this type of work, I feel like I want to be more technical and I want to specialize in something. The upside to this is that I’ve been more active and have been taking great care of my health.
I may have the opportunity to go back to my previous job but that would mean I have to burn the bridge at my current job.
What should I do? The grass is definitely not greener on the other side but I’m not sure what to do. Anyone else had a previous experience similar to this, what did you end up doing?
