I will try to keep this short and sweet...So I feel like I'm in a bind with my career and job situation. Ive been at my job for 4 1/2 mths. and now realize that I pretty much hate it. ITS DRAINING ME!! lol The people are great its just a bad fit for my personality. I want to quit but My resume is already flakey my last job i stayed about a 1 1/2 years, split between 2 different states. I want to move to another state but i also don't want to transfer this job anywhere (because I don't want it) and then end up quitting shortly after because that would look really bad. I NOW REALIZE I SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN THIS JOB TO BEGIN WITH.
But if I get a new job then thats means i would have to stay in this city that I don't really want to live in for another 1-2 years to try to stabilize my resume. AND THEN make my move. Im really stressed out and overwhelmed and been dealing with depression and anxiety. I kinda wanna just say screw all this and become a freelance artist (I have savings and some disability income) but i really want my own apt. and to rent an apt. in most cities you have to make 3 times the rent before they will rent to you. So I just feel in a bind and I'm not really sure whats the best route to take. Ive been told i should just quit and move and take my chances finding a new job BUT the job i REALLY want is a sister brand under the company that I already work for!!!so I have a leg up for this job but if i quit it will be harder because i no longer work for the company. If anyone has any piece of advice i would really appreciate it. I just feel like my head is spinning and I don't know what to do anymore.

Hello artsygirl88: The Skeezyks really doesn't know what to say about all of this. There are no clear answers here. The only thing I can say is... sometimes you just have to make up your mind...

Hi, artsygirl88, and welcome to Psych Central! What a situation. I'm thinking you should hang on to the job until you get another job (start sending out resumes now). Or stay for now and try to start some freelancing. Meanwhile, try to find ways to de-stress that work for you.

Can you apply for the job you really want with the sister company?
I think like with most companies, because you are already an employee, you can find the hiring manager of that position and explain that you are interested in this position and willing to move to get it.
Possibly even network in your current job to see if anyone knows someone on that side of the business to give you a recommendation.

I think you have a leg up on that job bc u currently work where you do.

Thats been my experience whith my former company.

Good luck!
