I've definitely had a few rough points since I started my current job early last year. I think I focused too much on my career that it left me with little energy for anything else.
I was finally starting to figure things out and get where I wanted to be in life at the beginning of the year but then the world got flipped upside down and it's been a rollercoaster since.
I almost want to say I was happy working from home, having more time for myself and my hobbies, but I was still looking forward to going back to the office because it brought back a (small) sense of normalcy and it definitely did.
Problem now is that I'm possibly days away from putting in my 2 weeks for a new SWE job in a sector that I'm super interested in and working with much cooler tech, but I'm scared. I'm extremely comfortable in my current role and it's very stable for the time being. I have no idea what the new role will be like - stress, long hours, etc. I know it'll be WFH for at least a few months to start, which I'm not looking forward to. I'm scared to leave my comfort zone in the middle of all this, and I'm worried it'll be terrible for my mental health going into the winter.
I know this isn't exactly the thread for this.. but I don't know where else to talk about it.
