Topic	First day at my new job today... Nervous...
BlazinBlue88 01/06/20 1:25:40 PM #47:	LinkPizza posted... I dont like challenging my life. That sounds stressful. Id rather be safe while making good money. And the job hopping can work for some. But not for most. And things will change if too many people start doing it. And there are many good jobs that will keep increasing pay. Id be wary of jobs that hire people who cant stay at a job long, and dont mind paying more. Because those seem like they might fire you before you get the chance to leave after doing it too much. But like I said (I edited), it would need to be a very be pay upgrade and much better benefits for me to leave a position where I have decent seniority and already work there. I hate learning a whole new way of doing things if I can help it. Especially if they do things worse. And Id rather not play my life like a game, where I can possibly lose stuff just because Im slightly bored at a job... But thats just me. Like I said, they both have their pros and cons. But a big con is that what you do doesnt really work for most people... That's fair. Plenty of people want to find a solid job that will treat them well and stick to it. Nothing at all wrong with it. Personally a new job isn't stressful to me. I get to go to a new place and play with new tech that I wouldn't have been able to at the previous job which is fun. Honestly most people I interview with are impressed at my drive to learn new things outside of my job in order to advance my career. They probably assume I won't outgrow their company because they will offer growth opportunities. That's also one of the questions I ask them when they interview me. I interview them as much as they interview me so I can see if there are any red flags. Oh yeah like I said, it's very industry based. IT allows for a lot of moving around. I don't really see it as playing my life like a game. I'm happy and stable in my current job but I randomly apply for jobs that look interesting and see if they'll throw me an extra $20k a year. lol @CableZL Sorry if we took over your topic man. Super excited to see how your new job works out for you. --- https://imgur.com/R15aJJ3 https://imgur.com/NJqp6LS <cite>BlazinBlue88 posted [p:932545921] in First day ...
