Going to be a bit of a ramble...
I’ve been in my new job for one month. Moved here from London because DP is military. We are only planning to stay in this location for another 18 months before we move to another huge base that he can probably stay at for the rest of his career - or in that area anyway.
My new job is a very small office - I am used to big corporate offices. This one is part of a wider, national organisation.
My problems are: I’m not sure I like my manager, the work itself is routine and very boring and not what it was described as - think lots of finance. There are whole days at a time where I’m just on my own in the office. I’m finding myself having lots of travelling to other places and overnight trips. And I just don’t like it generally! The atmosphere, culture etc.
I’m wondering if I should look at temping or fixed term jobs here? It’s an area with not much around it and not a lot of jobs. Salaries are also lower. Where we will be moving to next year is a lot closer to London, more jobs, better jobs and higher salaries.
Or do I give this job a bit longer? I have already applied and got interviews for some more corporate, professional jobs.
DP is very understanding. Financially we would be fine if I got a part time job. I just want to find something that I half like
I feel like I’ve taken a step backwards career and salary wise to be here with DP
But I do LOVE living with him in our own house here! I miss the City, wearing nice clothes to work and I’ve basically taken a 15k salary cut even if the cost of living is much lower here.
On paper my current job sounds quite good so I suppose I can expand on that on my CV.
