I have been working in the instrumentation field for over 5 years, always as a subordinate carrying out tasks. I passed the interview yesterday and got a position as a specialist. The unit is rushing to meet the deadline. I need to start working in about a week. Should I start working first and ask for leave from my current employer? It’s better to resign decisively and just dive in and work hard no matter what
The current position pays little, but it’s close to home; it takes 10 minutes by train to get there, and there are six days off per week. The new position requires a 30-minute drive; it’s a role as a professional supervisor. During the project planning phase, there are many things to deal with, including working overtime. My wife is pregnant with our second child. Personally, I feel there aren’t many opportunities in life, and I really want to seize this one
It is recommended to start working first and ask for leave from your current employer. To put it bluntly, you’re essentially making a cross-industry job switch, which requires an adjustment period. If your current employer allows it, it’s best to take time off to see if you’re suitable for the new role. Leave a backup plan for your second child.
It’s still possible to take time off for two or three days, but it’s harder to take time off for a week or two……
Compare the strengths of the two companies to see which one can thrive. See which company offers more hidden benefits or opportunities for growth. If the new company treats you well in the future, take advantage of your youth and strive hard! Otherwise, you won’t have a chance to try in the future!
In short, new companies are still superior to this place
Young people have opportunities; if there’s great potential for advancement, go for it
