I left my role in posesecondary education as a project manager for a corporate role and I think I’m regretting it. I’m deeply missing my old position and while I like what my new role is, I’m feeling like I don’t fit into the corporate world. The environment feels inauthentic. I mostly took the role as it offered much higher pay than what I was making in education but I was paid fairly well in my old role too. Most of all, I miss feeling that my work is impactful and frankly, I’m nervous about the economy and some of the messaging that the org has sent out recently about how the business is doing. I’m one of the most recent hires on my team and cannot afford to be laid off. I did ask about this in my interview but feel like I should have asked more targeted questions. I’m thinking about going back to education. Has anyone been in this situation before? If so, what did you do?
