Does it sound like a good idea to accept this job offer at same school I’m currently working for?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been in FA almost a yr & it’s a bit much I’m kind of miserable. I get good feedback (for the most part) from mgmt but I just don’t feel as acclimated as I should. I was offered a position working as a specialist for the Proof of Graduation team. I’d request proof of HS completion from students, same pay but approaching my annual raise soon anyway. My boss was a Mgr for the department before & said my counterparts are nice but there was too much drama from a management perspective. She said the job itself can be monotonous but better hours (no weekends) & wouldn’t be as busy likely. I’m looking for employment elsewhere too, I haven’t received the offer letter yet the position wouldn’t begin until March.

Yes

No

It's difficult to say for sure whether accepting the job offer as a specialist for the Proof of Graduation team is a good idea, as it ultimately depends on your personal goals, values, and priorities. Here are a few things to consider that may help you make your decision:

• Job satisfaction: It sounds like you're feeling unhappy in your current role as an FA, so it's important to consider whether this new position will make you feel more satisfied with your work. While the job may be monotonous, having better hours and less drama from management could potentially make a big difference in your day-to-day experience.
• Career development: You mentioned that you're not feeling as acclimated in your current position as you should be. If career development and growth are important to you, consider whether this new position will offer more opportunities for advancement or skill-building. You may also want to consider how this position aligns with your long-term career goals.
• Other job opportunities: It sounds like you're also looking for employment elsewhere, so it's worth considering whether you're likely to find a better job elsewhere before the start date of this new position. If you think you might find a job that's a better fit for you, it may be worth holding off on accepting this offer until you've explored those other opportunities.

Ultimately, you'll need to weigh the pros and cons of accepting this offer against your personal goals and priorities. It may be helpful to make a list of the benefits and drawbacks of each option to help you make a decision. Additionally, you may want to consider talking to a trusted friend, mentor, or career counselor for additional guidance.

I am not sure what FA is (Fat A$$?) but it might be nice to get some experience in other areas at the college.

thats your own call. we don't have any information about this new job versus your old job. we also don't know a single thing about this other job somewhere else that you applied to. so we cannot make the decision for you.

It sounds like a cushy job.

I would take it.

One of the nicer things about having a government job in front of a computer is that there is a lot of down time. When I was in college I had several work study jobs and they all had a lot of empty down time. I used that time to study and read.

Change is always healthy. Go for it. No weekends and less hours give you a lot of time to utilise productively elsewhere, specially family
