i was late 20s starting my first entry level stable job as a temp and ended up staying 5 years next week. I've learnt a lot of skills and contributed a lot. I do 3 jobs and supervise one in practice since our supervisor wfh and I manage another guy when his colleague is off or sick to ensure everything keeps running
The dept manager gives me a huge amount of flexibility and we get on well
My life progress is on hold however. I need to concentrate on my personal life. I can't afford a house (I'm renting) and don't have time for romance. I literally concentrate on the job all day. I've worked 7 days for 13 months as I need the money. It just hasn't kept up with my life stage or experience. The job doesn't describe what I do and I can 60% more elsewhere. My job is profitable and my dept but pay rise conversation have weird vibes. My supervisor's a bit of a jealous person so I know there's no growth in pay or position
I was a child when I started but im a man now and my wings have grown. I need to fly. There's only so much loyalty I feel I should offer
