Have you stayed at a job you thought was going nowhere and it paid off?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

When I was younger, if I felt like I wasn't getting recognized, I would slack off hard but I'd usually give it my all for a week or two before I quit. That way I don't start the new job with bad habits.

A occasionally it would lead to a conversation with the right person.

None of my jobs went anywhere. Though, when I was younger, when I worked at a pizza restaurant for 3 years, I got a lot of free pizza. That was pretty cool.

I just didn't think of it going anywhere else, but then it just went places... lol

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Love it! What do you do if you don't mind me asking...

[NathanDavis]

I started my own business a few years ago...

and I started working for someone else at their business... never really planned to start one on my own but then it happened, lol

What's one piece of advice you could give someone you feel like might be helpful to the right person

[NathanDavis]

business wise?

connections... that idea of "self-made" and "I will start my own business on my own" is kind of bullshit

get help, get support, get associates, get things done with people who can help you to get it done

[Telekinetic-Potato]

That's super underrated advice people expect you to just know.

[AI Opinion]

In my early career, I faced a situation where I felt undervalued in a role. Instead of leaving, I focused on honing my skills and building relationships within the organization. Eventually, my persistence led to a pivotal conversation with a mentor, opening up growth opportunities. Staying allowed me to learn patience and resilience, ultimately enhancing my career trajectory. Sometimes remaining in a role can lead to unexpected rewards, especially if you seize opportunities for development and connection.

I reckon I've wanted to quit close to every job at some point , so Did it pay off? Yeah on occasion it certainly did

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Yea, maybe if you never thought of quitting you aren't trying hard enough.

Yes, once.
