"Pretty sure I’ll move. Been too long in one place "
Yes, it's not a good idea to get pigeon holed in one place too long. Also moving jobs every now and then can lead to pay rises above those given by employers. |

"I've a job in my minds eye that I really want to do. Some day I'll do it but for now everything kinda works well, kinda  "
Yep, sometimes things just work where you are, depending on your circumstances.
Always good to keep your options open, or have a plan! |

Most working class take a career change at least twice in their lifetime, I think I've made three hopefully for the better,
If your not happy in ur current workplace make the change sooner rather than later it's really not good for ur well being socially n mentally.
My advice is without hesitation self employed the way ta go,
You'll never work harder for anyone else but urself.
Endless opportunities out there ATM,go for it.

"Yep.....Friday I leave my current job that I've been in for 18 years to start another one on the 8th January. Same employer but completely different direction. Cant wait  "
A change is as good as a break! |

I made this decision 5 years ago in December 18 and left a company after 34 years.
The salary was exactly the same and I had an hour's commute every day instead of 10 minutes but I felt I had to do it.
It didn't quite work out as I lost that job after a year due to Covid but I'm now in a different role earning much less but with less stress too. |

This the third role I've had since I started working for the company 15years ago and while it's not the highest salary I've had in said company the hours and reduced stress more then make up for it. I can spend more time with my family I don't get calls at stupid O clock on a daily basis. I'm not getting hammered by the bosses with work. I can't see myself leaving it anytime soon unless my nixer kicks off which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Its a busy year ahead for me, I was supposed to move permanently abroad in the new year for a new job opportunity but its now pushed back until late summer time after being asked to fill in for a band in the West of Ireland on a tour they are doing in America early summer time. |

I am very happily settled in my FINAL chosen career. It took a while to adapt as I was used to working 10+ hours a day for over 40 years. But I really, really love it as I get to spend quality time with my family especially my grandchildren!
Yip, I retired |

Similair, I was in the process of getting a job with a reputable company in late '19, didn't take it in the end, they went bust 6 months later when 1 week of Covid exposed a gaping hole in their finances! |

"Currently looking for a 9 to 5, sick of working evenings and weekends. Plus starting a more intensive course in something I want to eventually do full time working for myself"
I don't know how people work evenings and especially weekends on a full-time basis. That's hard going, very difficult socially! |

"Yeah I'll be finishing a course after Easter and looking to expand my horizons. Mrs  "
Well done, good stuff!
I've a course or two lined up for this year. Have felt I've let my CPD slip in the last few years! |

I've changed jobs three times this year simply as refused to stay in locations that treated staff like shit. In a role where I'm looked after now, making more than I did when was in management and a hell of a lot less stress. Wouldn't trade this for another just yet |

"With a new year soon upon us. How many off you have plans to change your job, change your whole career, maybe start working for yourself, or even stop working for yourself!??"
I'm doing a course atm which won't finish until ~May so staying put in the present job until then but after the course ends I'll be looking for a change of scenery. |
