A graphic designer recently turned to Reddit to express mixed feelings about a job interview that could significantly increase their salary. Their post outlines the tempting offer of moving from a $50k to an $80k salary and assuming a senior role, but it’s not without its emotional baggage.
The designer shares concerns about leaving their current company, where they have been the sole designer for nearly three years, and the guilt associated with potentially leaving their employer in a bind. With five years of varied professional experience, they also grapple with imposter syndrome and the worthiness of such a leap.
The Reddit community responded to the post, providing a broader perspective on this common career conundrum, and highlighting the personal and professional implications of such a decision. Read below.
