Running away from stuff or taking opportunity?

I have no clue where to put this. warning: me me me self-indulgent rant. I don't even know if I should bother posting about it.

The last few weeks have been a complete blaaaaahhhh in my stupid head. When this happens I kinda go into flight mode and want to get the hell out of wherever I am.

So I got the idea recently I wanted to go back to the UK (from NZ) ... I lived there for a while. Hate the weather, love earning the currency, love that it's close to Europe.

Anyway through a certain means I have basically been given the opportunity to do so - e.g. I could write my resignation, work another month, get paid out for holiday leave (which I never have time to take anyway), and book a ticket ASAP.

I thought this was a great idea a few days ago, I really did. However I do work for a wicked company and I feel like I've spent a lot of time building up my career here - and I don't know if I am ready to throw that away now I am a bit more rational. We do have branches over there, but they are all quantitative / retail based (diff side of the business).

On the other hand, being able to just GO ... is so tempting ... there's nothing wrong with my life HERE, it's just that I always think being somewhere new you are distracted and LESS likely to get blahh...

I don't know if I am just trying to run away or if I should just go anyway, I can always come home if it doesn't work and I have a lot of friends / relatives there anyway.

I suppose I am looking for more objective points of view than my own. I can't talk to workmates obviously, and I DON'T want to run my reasons for wanting to go past friends (for obvious reasons).

there are very few geographical cures..........

The idea is to be so distracted by new stuff that I forget about blahhhh?

I cannot talk to any of my IRL friends about the reasons behind going - I can give reasons for going to them if I decide to go but not the reasons I am basing my decision on?

:/

If it's going to hurt your career, I don't think it would be a good move 'cause getting rid of the blahhh is only going to be temporary. Isn't there any other way to rid yourself of the blahhhs without having to move? It seems you're only running away from the inevitable-turn and face whatever it is head on, otherwise it's only going to keep following you. Dsf, I wouldn't hand in my resignation. If you still feel like this in a few months then maybe you can start seriously contemplating it. How long have you thought about this move? Compared to all the time you've invested into a company you seem to like-is it really worth it?

Maybe you have reached your "ethical bounbaries" with this company. It happens...

Of course, if you have other reasons, like running for the sake of running, then that's something else. Been there, done that! And like someone else said, it usually doesn't work.

Then again, the chance to buzz around Europe, and nothing to hold you back...

There are overseas transfers and exchanges available within the company. But not so much to the UK. I don't know. I have thought about going away for a while I guess but sometimes it's just like, I wanna go NOW.

*shrug* i feel a bit lost as to what to do.
