    There is an internal opportunity at work, right up my alley. The direct report is someone who I’ve really struggled to like. I can’t fit more work on top of study/family/existing work, but its just for 6 months. I am tempted, because opportunity is fleeting and I might be able to slow down the study bit for that period of time… arrggh. What do I do?

      You go for it! You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.

        Lol that phrase was painted in the ECA centre at my school 😂

        We also graffitied “gotta risk it for the biscuit” on the fence nearby 😂

      Personally, unless the pay was significantly higher, i wouldn’t risk it. Working with someone I couldn’t like would make it that much easier to burn out

        No $ per hour increase, just more hours so a pay rise that way.
