FYI I an living in Europe.
I am at my 3rd job. I (23F) started working in 2020 after I graduated university. It took me some months to find a job and at the end of 2020 (December) I got hired in an editorial company. I was not satisfied by the pay and the company in itself as it was very disorganised (now looking back I was not so stressed and I didn’t have to worry about a lot of things (I only had to do my job, no back-up needed, no meetings, no work to pick up after holidays, etc.). Then in April of 2021 I got the opportunity to work as an intern at a big company and after the training they promoted me. Well, it was a big change and I didn’t feel I belonged there. I developed a different kind of anxiety that I didn’t experience before. I would cry, I was afraid to go to the office, etc. The team was amazing, but I found out that another girl that was in training with me and who was promoted after me, had a considerable bigger salary. I took this as a confirmation that I am not supposed to be working here. Another “sign” was that a day before finding this out, I got a job offer from the company I work at right now. So, since September 2021 I’ve been working here, but slowly the feelings I had before started to creep in. Like the same story all over again. I don’t know what to do with my life and I don’t imagine myself doing this all my life. On the other hand, I am afraid to take any chances by quitting with no back up plan. I wanted to try teaching, but like I said, I am afraid.
Sorry for the long post, it’s the first time I am talking about this
