What Are You Doing Right Now? (161 Viewers)

[InterMerda]

It took literally 1 week to realize the finance industry, or corporate was not for me, seeing people checking share prices, reading and discussing articles of the sort whilst i'm watching golf highlights during my lunch break, I had the technical skills for it but I could not compete with people who literally live the job, and i did not want to turn into that type of person. Albeit i have never been ambitious, very happy to plod along, as long as i'm home reasonably and have time to golf on the weekends i am a happy man, spending 40 years under constant stress hating what you are doing, for what, makes no sense. Some people love the rat race, they love the corporate life, they love playing the game and they are good at it. id rather kill myself that do that shit, staying late, people wanting to one up you and get ahead, cant be fucked for those games.

You're goddamn right. It's a disgusting world full of disgusting people, I just can't understand workaholics. So what are you doing now?

As we're on the topic...

I've been planning to make a move abroad for work. It's something I'm excited about, but it's a risk going into a new field in a new country, and I'm gonna have to borrow some money to do it (for a training programme), but in the long run should pay off.

Now my boss doesn't want me to leave, says he will make me a "big offer". I don't know what the offer is yet, but I have an idea of what the least is to make me reconsider. But I don't know yet what my choice will be.

It's a choice between taking a risk for the sake of a new challenge and a more exciting job, and getting to live in a new country which I have wanted for a long time while making less money for a few years. Or taking the easy route - stable, comfy, boring job, but finally making enough money to be content with (for now, maybe for the next 3 or 4 years).

I'd take a job abroad in a heartbeat. If I were in your shoes, I'd be already packing.

Thank you, you as well. I'm 28, in other words too old to be where I am now and dealing with this bullshit.

Thanks. lol too old? You have all the time in the world.

But if i understand correctly it's not concrete, so practically speaking you have nothing to lose

Correct, nothing concrete yet. I think the offer will come when I have a date set for leaving

If you're not seeking that high alpha then you really are running in the rat race

Normally, I'm not one to be affected by the death of "celebrities" very much. But man, I really miss Anthony Bourdain to this day. I genuinely feel sorrow for his passing, even moreso that he took his own life so pointlessly when he really seemed to have it all.

I agree for the most part about workaholics, but some of us have pretty awesome jobs that we actually enjoy.

Im pretty drunk ATM
Don't wanna be crude or anything, all I can think of when I hear Bourdain's name is Dave Chappelle's latest stand up and that bit he had about Bourdain

The only way i could see myself putting in that sort of shift is if I owned the business. Otherwise fuck that I'm not staying late or working weekends for a 9-5

That one was a tough one. He seemed like an all around decent guy.

Just gave in my letter of resignation and signed up for my first class. Two weeks from now is my last day. This is going to be either the best decision of my life or the worst.

Congrats

Going to school might not work out, might be a total failure but even then, dont doubt the decision, leaving your current job if you were so unhappy there was unquestionably the right decision.

the beauty of america is that shit aint life or death you can totally fuck up and always try something else tomorrow just dont make the same mistake twice

Acquiring more skills can't be a bad decision in the long run
