incogneato
No face, no case.
Hi LSA, it is me again. I need a sounding board.
I am just following up on my previous thread: I think I am on the verge of a mental breakdown
God being so good, I have been getting interviews, making it to the final round and I was excited at the prospects of moving on from my current job (7 months in). Then the coronavirus happened. However, I asked God for a sign on which direction to take and I believe if I am offered the job I want then it is time to move on. I am currently in the final round for 3 jobs! However, I need some advice.
Finance career so far:
Company XYZ (4 years: grad programme 1yr > team 1: 1.5yr > team 2: 1.5 yr)
So, what do you think? Should I leave if offered a job? Things at work are getting better. I took a much needed holiday and came back to working from home fulltime. HR/COO has ensured me they want me to stay and will do everything to make sure I am secure at work (manager has a bad rep). I just think the team was super nasty when I first joined. Somethings you just can't get over and it is hard for a leopard to change its spots (screaming manager) but I do recognize their effort to change. It just looks bad because I am reserved.
Also, I don't think I will get promoted anytime soon in this job. So, if I move laterally on the same corporate title going up by +5k could be helpful until the next promotion.
What do you think? It seems like the jobs are going ahead as I keep getting called back to interview within days. I have more interviews this tomorrow and next week too.

- My first role after a grad programme was ok, it was interesting but I was treated like the 'help' and often asked if I was the PA - so I left after 1 year internally - it was mostly advisory/compliance
- I then moved into hardcore finance with some focus on reg projects/number crunching - I was promoted very quickly and then went through the craziest experience... crazy boss, snakey co-workers, and all my team leaving...so I left after 1.5 years (desperately... my boss used to ask me to get them coffee, passive-aggressive... love/hate relationship, etc)
- I left desperately because I didn't learn much in my previous role as I was ALWAYS alone in the office, for almost 1 year. All the "sh!t" work came to me. Fine. I land a new job, 7 months in and I have met the craziest Becky boss, co-workers and just don't feel smart enough/like I fit in. - You can read about it here: I reported my manager to HR
I don't think I am respected technically and it hurts. I try my best but even the intern/analyst tries to speak down on me. I shut it down but I am mindful not to be that "angry BW". I am smart but I'm reserved/don't like talking if I don't know my stuff. This role requires a lot of number crunching/excel and some regulatory work. Number crunching is not really my skill set but I wanted to try something different. I am learning though.
