Hi!
I had worked in my previous role as a department manager for several years and due to different issues within the organisation and the way that it was starting to affect me personally I found another job as I felt like I needed a fresh start and the timing was right. I am now in a similar role but for a different company.
I have been in this role for a couple of months now but I feel as though I needed more of a career change as a fresh start and in hindsight have jumped at this opportunity as I was really starting to struggle in my old role and this seemed too good to miss. I was excited when I first started but this quickly turned to dreading work most days as I feel very disengaged with the role and the pressure that has come with it (there wasn't this much pressure in my old role due to it being a larger team) this has meant I quickly became overwhelmed with what was needed and expected of me. I have spoken to my manager about this who has been supportive around the dynamic change essentially that has came with the role.
I just know I can't see myself staying in this sort of role for much longer, it's not a great work life balance due to shifts which I know is also affecting me. I don't want to stay in a management role.
Has anyone felt like this and also if you looked into changing career how did you go about it? I don't want to jump into another role and feel the same.
Thank you for any advice!
