    Dear doremi:

    I say: stay in this job. From your previous posts, you compare yourself and your job to other and others’ jobs way too much which keeps you unsatisfied. Isn’t it so? There will always be someone saying: that job is better than yours! And there will always be something frustrating at any job. If the environment in this one is good for you- in addition to a good pay, I say: stay!

    * What is so frustrating for you when you explain basic things?

    Hi Anita,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am totally confused when thinking on should I stay or should I move. The frustation happen when I have to explain simple thing like we have to move to digital instead of using traditional way, or why I need the password access to the website to do my work. Previously I was getting blamed by a colleague because the website is down, when I tried to explain and I am correct. The supervisor of that colleague, protecting him and asked me to drop that matter to be “professional”. I was upset because how can you don’t take responsibility and blaming people like that.

    I am okay now, I have good friends here. But I am afraid that all that kind of misunderstanding, explaining basic things, etc. Happened again. So there are some opportunity opening in banks and my colleague asked me to apply together. We are waiting for interview. But I am not sure because I am afraid of risk in corporation like “slow-pace, corporate politics, long-hours etc.”

    What do you think? Should I stay or jump? Thank You 🙂

    Dear doremi:

    Review your work history, looking in previous threads on this website and make a list of Good Experiences (what made you content at jobs)/ Bad Experiences (what made you miserable at jobs)- so you two lists. You can highlight in orange, let’s say, the worst experiences, those you want to avoid at any cost. And highlight in yellow the best experiences, those most desirable.

    Then, when you consider a new job- interview (ask questions) people doing that job, there and/ or elsewhere- and make a list of the experiences those people told you about, that is, the experiences you can reasonably expect to have, and see if that list fits with the Good Experiences List or the Bad Experiences List.
