Do you ever switch jobs every so often + restructure.

lina-chan

I have worked for 6+ years and have noticed that I burnout in jobs easily after 1 ½ years. So far I have gone through 3 different jobs  - I am still in my 3rd job but have been offered something else due to my role going through a restructure. Since leaving uni, all my jobs have been admin as I haven't been able to find anything in the arts and as much as retraining seems tempting, I don't want to go back to university knowing that I wasn't able to utilise my degree if I make sense.

Even with my job offer, I am thinking about whether to take it - more so because I would still be in the same grade (despite going to the next spinal point) and the restructured role I interviewed for is a grade higher; one of my colleagues mentioned to think about it as I would go down and the point is, I do not know if my job in the restructure is safe hence why I applied for other jobs as the delays keep happening. The worst case scenario is I get redeployed and have to spend 3 months looking elsewhere (it took me 8 months from last year to find something else)...

    Wow, it sounds like the issue here is less that you are burnt out and more that your job is in major flux right now. I’m not sure what to advise in terms of whether to take the job offer or not. I guess I’d say go with the one that seems the most stable and less likely to be cut in the future.

    What is your degree in? If you’re not working in the field you trained for, that could in part explain some of the burnout. I have two degrees in music composition, and I no longer work in that field professionally, so I can understand that working in something that does not interest you could cause some dissonance.
