what would you do ?

here's my dilemma, please let me know your advise :


I have a job I started 8 months ago. I absolutely hate it. Everyday is misery, some are tolerable but still misery. My position is a meaningless job. It was sold to me as an accountant position, but it has turned out to be data entry.HOWEVER, it does come with a nice salary, nice pension and 50k of IVF and IUI coverage.

I have an interview tomorrow for a position that would pay substantially more.

Being that I have had 2 miscarriages, would you stay at the job you hated just in case you need that IVF insurance ?
Or get out and find something that makes you happy ?

Re: what would you do ?

I wouldn't work somewhere that made me miserable. Think about all of the stress & unhappiness you are harboring....this does not exactly make for a ideal pregnancy either. I would bail ASAP if you can. You'll likely be more apt to get pregnant when you are working some place that makes you happy.

Re: what would you do ?

Maybe the stress is causing your problem. I would leave, you need to be happy and the added pay will come in handy when the little one arrives

Re: what would you do ?

I'd be out! I couldn't do it! I take my hat off to you for doing it for as long as you have. Everything will work itself out and YOU need to put YOU first!!!

Re: what would you do ?

Life is too short to stay in a job you hate-- make sure you ask all the right questions on the interview so you can fully assess if it would be a good move for you.

Re: what would you do ?

I would definately move on to a position that you were happier with. I worked a job where I was completely miserable everyday but I stayed for the perks. One day I had enough and quit. Since then I work for a great company with an eighth of the stress, better salary and a much more relaxed environment. I cannot tell you the difference it has made in my life professionally and personally. You spend more time at work than with your family, you should at least enjoy it a little bit...
