I really need your advice.
I’ve been working in a job I’m not passionate about for the past three years, and I’m about to enter my fourth. It’s a seasonal role, which means from November to May/June, I’m working almost nonstop. During that period, I barely have a social life, it’s exhausting, and honestly, it doesn’t feel sustainable. And even off season i’m so drained and burned out to do anything for myself
I kept going because I wanted the experience, and to be fair, I’ve learned a lot. This year, I was even promoted to Account Manager, which came with more responsibility and challenges, but it helped me grow.
Now, they’re offering me the opportunity to travel to one of the countries I manage. It’s a big opportunity, especially since I’ve never traveled abroad before and it would definitely add value to my CV.
The problem is that accepting this opportunity would mean committing to at least another year in this role. I already feel burned out and drained, and I’m not sure I can handle another year like this. At the same time, I don’t want to miss out on such a valuable opportunity.
I also don’t have another job lined up yet, but I’m worried about committing while knowing that if something better comes along, I might want to leave immediately.
I feel really stuck between not wanting to waste this opportunity and not wanting to continue in something that’s already taking a toll on me. What do you think I should do?
