Thanks everyone. I always wonder in times like this. If they are slack before the job, what are they like during the job!
Great question! Company performance during the selection and hiring process can be a useful window in to overall performance and culture. It’s their opportunity to shine and your opportunity to assess that performance to help you come to a decision.There are some similarities between your employer and mine at the moment.
The past two years haven't quite returned the profits hoped for and therefore some projects have been put on the back burner which has put a dampener on things.
I don't think we are alone however and I think many, many businesses are in the same boat.
Times have been challenging over the past 5 years and technology has moved on at an alarming rate - almost to the point I feel there is some kind of paradigm shift going on.
At the moment, I am staying put - despite things not looking strong.
The "work / life balance" is good, the role isn't too stressful and the salary is acceptable. Combined with a short commute, there are many advantages.
Far too many stories of out of the frying pan and into the fire at the moment, one of my friends has changed role 3 times in the last 12 months.
However, that said, you will always find a way to make it work. I made a silly mistake a few years ago by leaving a good company, hindsight is 20/20.
