Job Predicament- imposter syndrome??
Hi all-
I have been a counselor at a high-achieving private school for 10 years. I like where I work, I like the people I work with, I make good money. I’m just also a little burnt out. The commute is 40 minutes each way on a good day. We are also getting a new principal this year for the first time in about 16 years.
A job opened up at a public school where my kids will also attend one day (they are in elementary now). Slight pay cut, however, commute is 15 mins each way.
I guess I’m just not sure what to do. Which I recognize is a good position to be in, having 2 options.
Basically, I’ve spent so long in a private school, I’m kind of having imposter syndrome about moving to a public school. It’s also hard to know when the right time to leave a job is. Like do i leave and start over basically? Or stay where it’s comfortable?
Are public high schools that much harder/different? Has anyone moved from private to public?
Thanks for listening (reading)
