My job is going really well. I’m really like my boss and my coworkers and I’m learning a lot. I have a lot to add to my resume already, and I’ve only had this job for almost two weeks.
But I don’t feel like I can get too comfortable at my job, even though I like it so far. I’m not scared of getting laid off, but I’m scared to sit in one place for too long and thereby missing out on more money. I can’t afford to be too passive about making more money.
I’m keeping my eyes open for an even better position with significantly better pay. Since I like the people where I work, I’m only going to switch to something else if it’s much better pay, or enough pay to make switching worth the risk.
I guess I’m writing this because I’m relieved and grateful to have a full time job, I’m happy with the people and the work, but I can’t afford to get too comfortable or complacent and not pursue options that will be better for me financially.
