Yeah, if you have that feeling often while only 7 months in, you gotta take a step back mentally and figure out if that’s really where you wanna be. Do you like NYC and all that it has to offer? Is it strictly a job issue or is there another underlying issue for your unhappiness?

I guess I mistyped. I am in the process for interviewing for a company in another state (early stages), and am basically taking it one step at a time because I’m not sure if it’s an area that my SO or I want to end up in. I’ve talked to her about it but neither of us have even visited the area (we’ve been to surrounding cities) so we aren’t sure how it is. I look at it as a stepping stone in the right direction. The city in question is a very up and coming city, with a lot of job opportunities for people in their 20s and 30s.

I figure I’ll make a final decision together with her if I’m offered a job. It would be a good opportunity for me career wise as it is a bigger company with offices around the globe. I think it would open a lot of doors for me and the benefits would likely be way better. I would regret not throwing my hat in the ring for a chance.

As for my current job, I typically go into work, shut my door, and listen to podcasts while working all day. My morale has kinda dropped over the last year or so (and I’ve been here a while), so I think my time is just finishing up here. I’d rather not get burned out so I’m just looking around at other possibilities.
