To leave my job

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

What are you asking on Mumsnet for?

You’re a bloke

Go and look on a careers site somewhere

You were a child when you started, in your late 20s? What were you doing with your life before then?

Move on.

Good luck in your interviews, but please don’t reply to, “why do you want to work here” with “cos I’m ready for my testicles to descend” 😏

Why do you think you might be unreasonable?

Nochoiceleft · 17/09/2023 16:00

Ok

PonyPatter44 · 17/09/2023 16:03

If you can earn 60% more elsewhere, what is your question, and why do you think you might be being unreasonable? Surely if you fancy a new job, you just go and get one?

ilovesooty · 17/09/2023 16:07

If you can earn 60% more elsewhere go and get another job then.

I don't know why you're asking.

LetMeEnfoldYou · 17/09/2023 16:10

Why are you asking us? If you can get more money for less hours elsewhere it's a bit of a no brainer surely.

I'm fed up of men trying to get in our spaces @RamsesTheChub
