I see your point. I should clarify further and give more details - that may help in this situation.

So, I do not know if there is a future for me in my current company. My job responsibilities do not spell out a specific career path, and I don't right now see how I can progress within the company - there's no clear path for me there, in other words. To eventually move up from my current role as it is today seems impossible to achieve. I could move into more of a content role, but they're not moving me anytime soon.

This other job opportunity is a hybrid and managerial role that involves responsibilities I think I would like. It's also in a college setting (a well known local university/graduate school), so I would be able to switch out of digital marketing agency life. I don't really want to be in an agency anymore.

The other factor involved is the beyond high expectations of work performance in my current company. My CEO is a perfectionist, and that creates the feeling that the work you do is never good enough. She will always find fault with something you do. I cannot stand that aspect of my current job - the flip side and positive side is it's not a toxic work environment otherwise.

I think most importantly, since I had to reduce my job responsibilities in my current job, I'm afraid that there's no real future for me there. I'm kind of in a no-man's land position that they had to create for me as a result of my mental health breakdown. Now that I am recovered, I don't know where it's leading to.

I hope this helps.... ? Many thanks!
