I currently work a job that is quite physically intensive and demanding. I work 6 days a week with only one day off and sometimes even seven days a week with no holidays and the pay is peanuts. I graduated in December 2025 and I have been looking for roles that align with my trajectory, a couple of interviews here and there but nothing has converted so far so I took the job as I wanted it to be a place holder for three months and now I am actively considering quitting because I think it is derailing my trajectory. I understand the gaps that I need to close for my trajectory to fully materialize but at the moment I can't because the job takes too much from me to focus on anything that will propell my trajectory. I genuinely want to quit but the problem is that I stay with my folks who are millennials, and you know how millennials are built - I won't go into that. If I leave with nothing else at hand, a conflict will emerge and I can't afford being kicked out at the moment because I will lose my base of operating. I hold a bachelor's degree in Development Studies, with a certificate in Software Engineering from ALX Africa. Any advice or leads given will be appreciated.
