[Astro-Seek] Career advice: I feel like running with both legs tied in a sac
Hey, I have read here so many people having career issues, and I would have the same plea. Could you please help me figure this out? It will be a longer post, but I feel that if I don't explain it enough, I might come across as just complaining and not willing to do the work
I started in a career that I trully love since arround 2006.
In 2010 I pivoted in order to stay in this branch, and while it has a very hard and isolating time, I persevered. After several job switches, when I saw I had no further promotion opportunities, I went back to studying to stay in the branch (2019-2021).
And since then, though I find jobs in the sector, I feel cursed (I know it sounds dramatic but it feels this way 😅). Even extremely basic things, which should work just fine, and are set up to work at the push of a button, don't work from the first when I touch them. I work next to colleagues for which these work from the first. When I show them, they can't believe that I am the one that keeps stepping into all the problems, or exceptions. And it is not that I don't know my job after 5 years, it is that the systems seem to glitch at every opportunity for me. And this is a job at which you need to excel, not stop to tickle every problem.
Before 2019, I thought it was a gift because this helped me find weak points of the systems, and that got them fixed by the support department. But since I pivoted my job, there is no support personel for this, to maintaing things stably. This has become a major handicap. To the point that it makes me consider getting a much simpler job since it has made me feel burned and incompetent.
I mention that I worked in 2 different countries and 4 separate cities.
Thank you for your patience for such a long post.
