Comment On the road to Dilbertville... (Score 1) 577
I can tell you from experience, if the work is drudgery it is a bad situation! Co-workers come and go, but drudgery is never ending; and it constantly wears on you. Ten years will pass, and suddenly you'll realize your in a bad Dilbert cartoon. You won't be sure how you got there; you'll just realize that's where you are. If you think taking a pay cut now is painfull, try changing careers after ten years of salary increases and one or two promotions but narrow experience. It isn't easy. Regardless whether you take this oportunity or another, you need to move on.
Too many people find themselves trapped in a job by a combination of comfort and fear. The working conditions are good, the co-workers friendly why move? What if the new job isn't all it's cracked up to be? What if the company fails? What if, what if what if? Don't let fear keep you rooted in place.
