I have always worked in busy, shift work environments in the health industry. Always extremely overworked, working extra unpaid hours just to get the work done and in high stress situations. I applied for a back office job – higher pay, much better conditions, time off over Xmas new years and no funny rules about taking annual leave. The only problem is I’m bored everyday – there is zero urgency and my brain can’t hack it.
Should I stick it out or go back to my old job? It works out about an extra $7000 annually.
