Really exciting read and it sounds like you're processing all options in a healthy way :)) If you want my astrological take, everythinggg (mercury, saturn, neptune, pluto, chiron) is retrograde right now, which usually symbolizes a time to drawn inward and internally process rather than making any hard and fast moves (because the planets eventually station direct, traveling over the same path again, causing us to rethink things). This is especially true for mercury because it rules communication, the mind, and the way we think. Of course life's gonna life and sometimes we gotta move forward with big decisions at inopportune times. Either decision is fine and your life will be yours no matter what you choose :)
From an anecdotal perspective I would give literally anything to have a remote job again :') I'm also of the mind that if you're seeking a new job of your own volition you should be thrilled about it!

@BABYOBLIVI0N wow I love This thank you for the info and for your sweet words omg!!! 💖 Yeah honestly having a remote job with a flexible schedule, no micro managing, and a great friendly respectful culture feels super valuable and I would hate to give it up. I’ve spent the entirety of my career working remotely and it was a huge part of why I started in my field back in like 2016!!

This post has made me think more about my current very similar situation. I’m happy you’re coming into this meaningful realization!!
I have a lot more thinking & introspecting to do but I’m glad to come across this post, as majority of posts online tend to veer the other way and encourage exploration & job hopping for salary increases, and not so much your current sentiment of staying and deepening your roots.
Hope it works out for you!!

@KIMRSANCHEZZZ I’m so glad to hear this! It’s true that job hopping is a more common way to build a career and it can help you to increase your pay much more quickly but if you’re in the right place with the right people, sometimes it can be better to follow the older more traditional path.
Thank you I wish you the best of luck too!!!! 🍀
good for you for recognizing the “maybe the grass is greener” pattern. that’s absolutely something i’ve done in the past too. trust you’ll know what the right decision is 🩷

See, you've stumbled upon something extremely rare in the current job market. There's a lot of stigma around being "stuck" at a company forever, but people ignore the fact that it can be more stable and rewarding to scale your career without worrying about switching companies! I've been attempting something similar at my own company, with a lots of starts and stops. Good luck, and trust yourself that you are making the decisions you're supposed to(whatever they may be).

@_KZR_ exactlyyy that was actually what attracted me to this company in the first place was that they believe in internal hiring and employee development according to their own messaging as well as reviews!!!! it felt like that was a really rare opportunity for me especially in this job market and ESPECIALLY coming from the field I’m in. and so far that seems to be true—I’ve already learned a lot and done a lot of cool and exciting things! THANK YOU for this comment it means a lot to me!!! I hope your efforts are rewarded handsomely 🫶
