I don't think I really want to change my job at this moment, mainly the bonus and the increment ahead in few months. And I want to do some extra projects with outside people, to build a relationship to start my own company at the end of next year

For me (at 40) it will not happen this decade but maybe in 10 to 15 years provided the US government does not make make crazy increases in the tax I will have to pay to withdraw my from my retirement accounts to avoid the expected massive social security shortfall.

i think, best start your own gig before retirement. Grow it, grow it enough so by time you really need to leave workforce, you have alternate income stream. Best of Luck!

Got an offer in July, my company counter offered and I accepted.
Only problem is, they never came through on their end. No new title. No new role. More of the same.
My new boss on the org chart isn't even the person I report to, who assigns me work, or signs my time cards.
Yes, I will be gone, hopefully before the end of the year.

i think it's a little more complicated ... for example, risk of working for the new firm? you never know if you're walking into sh*t storm until you actually starts with the new firm

You don't need to "Worry about it", one just need "Run into it"
Sounds like you haven't met your defeat the whole life?
Collin Jasnoch wrote: Why tell your current employer you are quitting for said offer?
You don't. In school and HR, they tell you one should speak openly. That's shortest path to end your career in reality.
Collin Jasnoch wrote: The only reason a person would do that is a hope they get a bump in pay or job title.
Urm... title is useless these days. You know how many VP there is in a bank!? It's absurb.

Exactly, most don't know what they are really up against until they are on the job, probably a few months afterward!
Collin Jasnoch wrote: Not entirely true. Many employers have pay scales based on title.
Agree, depends on sector. Especially gov work all get paid in accordance to "Payscale"

In late May I just left Portugal to embrace a new challenge in Switzerland.
It's been great on it's own but watching the news it was clearly the best decision I haver made.
Was not an easy one tho. I had to leave behind everything I ever knew for 35 years as being my habitat, my familly, my son, my friends, my "secure", technologically challenging and well payed (for the standards) job but yet again, it worths all the way.
Leaving your conffort zone is hard, and it's really easy to find an convincing excuse not to but if you're not happy with what you have, quit complaining and work your way out as soon as possible.
GO!!

Agree with you completely, its not easy to come out of your comfort zone. But if you are ambitious and want growth, i feel change is must.

Guess it's better not to change jobs here and there so your career records will be good..

And what about if the firm where you are is not challenging you, the job you have to do is boring, you are stuck in a position for the rests...
It is not so nice to see someone that has changed firm 4 or 5 times in 3 years, I agree with that. But if you are young and started to work 3 or 4 changes in 10 years is not bad. You are developing your skills and learning different methodes from different places.
If you are so lucky that you have the job of your dreams at the first moment... perfect. But if not... to change is the only thing you have.
Regards.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
