is there scope for you to negotiate fewer hours ? Maybe your job allows
you to work from home a couple of days a week ? Be imaginative ! Changes
don't always have to be drastic to be effective.If you are happy with
your career but find yourself working for a company whose values are
totally different from yours, you are in the wrong place. In this
case, you might consider applying for another company whose values
align with yours.
If work-life balance is very important to you but you spend 4 hours
commuting each day, this will take valuable time away from your family
and the ability to pursue other activities that you would normally
enjoy. Start looking for a job close to your home.If you are sure
that changing careers is the only way you will be happy, then start
preparing yourself for the transition.
