    Last day in the current role. It’s a bit sad because I enjoy working here and we’ve had nothing on the past two weeks, so I’ve been enjoying that extended chill time at home.

    I hope the new job is bearable. I think I need a job where I can lock in for a bit and make some progress. Either I can get some results and work my way up or have some impressive enough work to display on a resume.

    I feel like I’m hitting a ceiling for the types of jobs advertised on the open market. Real advances from here will either be from promotions or networking

      That last paragraph rings so true man. There’s only so far you can go with external advertised roles i reckon.

        For most higher up roles they’re either internal promotions, people they know, or at worst a recruiter with a network. I know not every job ad on seek advertises pay but you don’t see many on the higher end of the spectrum compared to lower

          Agreed. It makes sense that they’d hire internally for senior roles. There is already that established work history and trust.
