Are you always worried?

I am currently unemployed (a month and a half so far) and seeking a job in an accounting/financing/office field. I’ve been offered a position somewhere that would pay me decently well and fairly close to where I live. It would be great skill set wise with room for growth. The only problem is that I’m not a fan of 40 hour workweeks, and this job is an 8-5 M-F. I’ve worked 40 hour weeks before and I felt miserable and guilty that I couldn’t spend times with my friends, family, and partner. I felt like all I did was work and had no time for myself. I also have a physical disability that, while it doesn’t stop me from working, completely drains me at the end of a working day. In my previous 9-5 job, I would be asleep by 7 pm and sleep 10+ hours easily. I asked this company if I could have slightly less hours or a four day workweek and I was told it’s not possible. The company is a reputable state-wide business that I would be happy to work for, but those hours are making me have second thoughts. Any advice?

I have over 15 years of leadership and strategy building experience. Looking for salary 90K - 120. I keep getting calls from companies that know I'm over qualified for. So I need to connect with someone that can weed out the spam.

I was recently terminated from Playing for a Church As A Musician, but was asked stay until they found someone else to replace me. I chose to not ever remain in that Particular atmosphere of denounced ongoing rejection. Yes the pay was somewhat ok, but it wasn't worth my Peace Of Mind, although I did post for other employment on Facebook, just for backup only,not with an intention to leave that Particular place of employment.,but as I already stated earlier, all of that negatively wasn't worth my Peace of Mind. Yes I still Love every one at that former Particular place of employment, whereas I did post on the group me page of that Particular former place of employment, after Praying and seeking GOD of what to say, I never mentioned my termination, but told each and every member of that Particular Congregation that I was no longer there due to lots of negative contentions. Sometimes a Person has to do what is necessary for the having of Peace of Mind, which can't be bought, nor negotiated. So I highly suggest that Sometimes when we seem to be at our worst of times,just remember that better times,and better days are ahead. So continue to be encouraged and always remember to Keep GOD 1st, in your lives, and things will always work out for the Good...

Recently, the company for which I am employed as a subcontractor lost a client.... the contract was awarded to another firm... low bid award. After a few months, the company that was awarded the contract contacted me and asked if I want to subcontract with him and handle this client.... I dont think he knew what he was getting into :). My contract with the company that lost the bid states "I am free to do other work ...not for the company". What are your thoughts on me doing the consulting work for this other firm that was awarded the bid..I will be working with the same contacts. Do I let the company that lost the bid know about it? I do have other clients for which I provide consulting work with this company. Want to be ethical but not stupid!

Hello! I have been in my current role for around 2 years now. I have a background in computer science and math and landed a non-coding role right after graduating. I went to another company after in hopes that I can get my hands dirty with code again and I was a little rough in the beginning since I haven't been doing it for the year and a half prior to this role. My manager and tech lead-- they weren't that encouraging and fed into my imposter syndrome and even told me that "coding isn't for everyone". I wasn't particularly bad at it-- i was able to help with a lot of features and pages that contributed to what has recently been launched. Since then, i have been pulled out of a developer role and into this customer support role where I am not able to see myself grow or ever get promoted while my knowledge for all those languages I once knew is escaping me. I tried talking to my manager earlier last year about grad school and pursuing a masters in UI/UX/HCI since thats where my passions lie and i can get back to what I have originally intended on doing with more structured learning in a niched subset of computer science but he automatically rejected it saying that he believes this customer support role is "good for my career growth". I was recently part of an internal hackathon where I used python as a techstack to build a working prototype for our idea and i was so happy being able to code again and it felt more like home. I feel stuck and am not sure how to proceed. I'm still early in my career and am afraid that this will affect how my career is paved out right now. The job market is rough right now and im not able to look for new roles either. not sure how to proceed.

I have been looking for a job for 8 months to no success. Does anyone has suggestions that I can incorporate or improve? https://www.linkedin.com/in/sahitiagarwal/ https://sahiti.webflow.io
