Career Advice

Hello,

This isn't really a health question, but I'm hoping this community of lovely people in a similar position to me might be able to share some wisdom.
I've been in my job for 5 years and I'm SO ready for a new challenge. In truth, I've probably been ready to move for a number of years but I've been TTC for a long time and in the last 2 years, we've also been doing IVF [two egg collections and one failed FET]. My company offers a good maternity leave package (6 months paid) and the role is fairly easy/flexible because I've been there a long time. The pay isn't bad either, but it's also not going up anytime soon.
Some days, I think the best option is to move jobs because who knows if I've ever even be able to have kids? On other days, I think the best option is to stay in my cushy job and focus on my IVF journey. If I change jobs, I'd most likely have to wait years for good maternity leave? Shouldn't I focus on one stressful thing at a time?
I'm heading towards my next FET in March. Wish me luck!
Would love to hear your stories and advice.

Hey, thanks so much for sharing this. I can completely relate to this. We have been trying to conceive our second with IVF since I started my current job, it allows me to work from home and it's a good salary which helps put money towards the ivf but it is extremely stressful and requires me to travel round the world which I don't think is helping with keeping stress levels down.

I’ve had the same headache, and the quickest fix for me was using moderncv.co.uk to rebuild my CV from scratch. The real-time preview and instant PDF saved me a ton of time, and the templates didn’t get butchered by ATS filters. Being able to edit as much as I wanted without creating an account made it way less stressful.
