Hi everyone! I would love some advice on how I'm feeling about potentially job searching. I made a throwaway just in case I could be identified by my other account.
I work in higher education at an university. I worked in a different department for the past 5 years and just got hired in December doing education and training on campus. In my former position, I was feeling pretty burnt out, and just thought I needed a change in positions.
I wouldn't say that I still feel burnt out, and I wouldn't say I'm unhappy, but I'm definitely not happy with this new position. This is a newly created position, so I don't think there was much clarity in the office on what my role is or was. The first day I started, I was shown my desk, and that was it. I wasn't given any instruction on what I should be working on, or how to do anything. I meet with my supervisor maybe once or twice a month, but usually our meetings are cancelled. I think the majority of times, my coworkers forget that I work there. I have not been added to the website or had even a name placard made for me, and have even had the lights shut off on me as people leave the office. Additionally, this is an adjunct position, which I knew going in, so I have lost the substantial retirement contribution, vision, dental, vacation time, and I am on a 2 year contract that may not be made permanent. I was told there were hesitations when hiring me because I was going from a permanent position to adjunct.
In my previous role, I was very busy all of the time and had a consistent schedule. I currently have maybe 4 meetings (if that) scheduled a week, and otherwise I'm just sitting there trying to figure out what I should be doing.
I haven't really brought these concerns to my supervisor as 1) I don't want to seem like I am unqualified for the role I was hired for and don't want to say I don't know what I'm doing when I think there is an expectation that I should and 2) I believe some of my boredom is attributed to the fact that I came from a position that was go-go-go and often worked 50-60 hours a week, and came to one that is more low key, so it's not necessarily the position that's bad, but my expectations of amount of work.
I have been considering getting out of higher education and student affairs for awhile now. I could do much of the same work in corporate/private sector, make more money, and have less hours of work, or less odd hours. My fiancé works in the private sector for a tech company and I am always blown away by the difference in pay/benefits/work culture he has compared to higher education and student affairs.
I have had some open positions that I am interested in applying for but just feel awful for screwing over my office (if I was to get a position) since I have been there for just over 5 months, and I know they wanted this position for awhile and finally got it filled.
Any advice or experience with this? My main questions are: Should I apply to these jobs? Should I just stick it out for say, a full year, then apply to others? Should I let my supervisor know I am applying? I appreciate any advice!
