I hear you Nicole. I’ve been there too. Problem right now is that I know too much to stay where I’m at, and not enough to advance. I may have opportunities to advance within my current situation, but would have to prove myself at a new company.
Before I can change jobs, I have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up
I do know that, with my current skillset, there’s nothing locally. Any job I would move to would require travel. I could take a step down, and perhaps get something locally, but it would entail a major pay cut which I can’t afford.
However, headhunters is my plan “B”. Should it ever come down to it, and I get laid off, I would get enough severance to tide me over until I got some contract work.
