For us all get anything off our chest, no matter how small. It's cathartic.

What's been needling you this week?

Clients at work (same as most weeks to be honest) making stupid changes. I haven't enjoyed work for a while now, and have been thinking of finding something new.

Ah that sucks. I was in that place a while ago. Would you change companies or careers?

Company I think as I do enjoy the work I do, it's just made a lot more stressful with poor management and pain-in-the-arse clients. Ideally I'd like an in-house dev role, I've heard it's a lot less stressful.

Sounds like you’re in a coding type role. Mate the market is very bouyant for our skills right now. I am starting a new job on Monday where my pay has gone up significantly over my last one.

I definitely advocate for moving somewhere else if you’re in a position to. We spend so much of our lives at work just to be able to exist and one day look back and think…wow I spent so long being stressed / unhappy. I know not everyone has the luxury of being able to leave a job if they aren’t happy - been there myself, but if you can, go for it.

Best thing I ever did was leave the job I was unhappy with. Took me 2-3 years to finally do it, but was totally worth it in the end. It can be hard to take the plunge.
