Thanks DJ! It's a great thing to think about for sure. We already planned to quit after the year ended, but finding a place that would take a lot of us up sounded like a dream. However, I did my best to make it possible. Now the decision isn't in my hands anymore but in my colleagues.
I just hope everything will work out alright for me. It'd be a harsh cut in pay for 1,5 years, but once I've passed my exams I'd start on a pretty high pay grade with a guaranteed yearly increase. Plus it's "Arbeiterwohlfahrt"/AWO, so no worries about profits for higher-ups and tight budgets.
I did a similar thing recently. I left a job I hated for an interesting new on with a substantial but hopefully temporary pay cut. Best decision of mine in the last year.
That gives me hope. You know, no matter the great pay, doing something that feels wrong just irks me and I see and feel how my colleagues and me are mentally and physically worn down from that situation. It's tough as I am only a "Umschüler" (Retrainee) but once I got my "Pflegefachkraft" (examined nurse) status, I'll climb much higher in their ladder of payment. They have a wage contract and every year you'll go up a little at least once. I hope you'll soon reach a better payment too and that your new role continues to be interesting and fulfilling for you 👍🏻
Thanks! Good luck with that for you too! 😊
