The hours are better than my last job, plus I don't have to put up with last minute calls to go to the other end of the city and work in a different shop that finished at 10 instead of 9 in my main shop and it's better pay. The colleagues I work with are nice on the whole (There's always a jerk here and there but that's life) and the boss is ok for a boss so, yeah on the whole I like my current job.

Got a new full time job, earlier this year with good benefits.
It's not glamorous and exciting... but the people I work with are nice.

Love it for the most part. Can be frustrating though. Staffing issues. But I am considered extremely valuable and a go to person who gets things done. I am asked to do many things outside my job but this works to my advantage as well as my actual duties would only justify 32 hours. And I am being looked at for advancement (credibly, not smoke to get me to do extra). Just Friday while doing a not my duty task and being called to help with another not my duty I said to myself I need a raise. My boss heard from the next office and told me after our audit next week she was planning to file a waiver to get me a significant raise.

I have a three jobs.
I do ghost tours in a hearse in a major city.
I run a small rural library.
Then this year I started helping with senior center in the building with some administrative assistant stuff.
I enjoy all three. None of them are really high paying jobs on their own, and before I added the senior center sometimes things would be tight. But a good chunk of your life is spending time at these places you might as do something you enjoy. To me it’s a quality of life thing. Also I have no co-workers and at two of my jobs I rarely see my bosses. So I don’t have to deal with any workplace drama.

Yes. I’m a civil servant who replies to correspondence from members of the public. It’s not overly difficult, I get good feedback, it can be rewarding and I get on with all of my colleagues.
It may sound unambitious, but I don’t really look to move up the ladder as it just brings more stress and responsibility. I’m good where I am for now.

Yes
I do YouTube full-time. I don't earn a massive amount, but I definitely earn way more than average and more than enough to comfortably live on.

I generally like my job, though it can be stressful and draining at times. I'm a night shift supervisor in a factory and I work long hours. The schedule alone makes it difficult to maintain a social life. However, I generally like most of the people I work with, my bosses are typically supportive, my employees are generally respectful, the benefits are nice and I make good money. That's the rub right now, I can't see this as a forever job (though I've been there almost 16 years, though I started as a temp on the floor, only been supervising about 4 years), partly because I can't see myself taking over another shift even if I had the opportunity and I would very much love a day shift position somewhere. However, despite being salary I get paid overtime pay for anything over 45 hours. I typically work at least 52 in a week, sometimes much more. As such, I'd be certainly taking a pay cut anywhere else and I'd lose a significant amount of vacation time. However, once I build my savings a bit more, it might be worth it to have a job on regular hours.
All in all though, I do like my job.

Not right now. We moved to a new office building. This place hasn’t been vacuumed or dusted in ages, it’s playing havoc on me.

At the end of the day, I'd say yes, but it's a mixed bag.
I basically get to go to restaurants in Japan and review them and promote them, which I am very appreciative of, I'm totally aware that's something a lot of people would gladly do and I do. However, because it is for a website that is not exactly thriving, there sometimes feels like there is an anvil of stress and pressure to get clicks on articles or views on videos looming over my head and they just don't come. I think every job has some equivalent of that stress so I try not to worry too much. I mean, like I said, I get to eat a lot of good food so can't complain too much lol.

No, and I'm applying like crazy to get the f*** out. I know it's never a quick process but man, I am over it already. I'm in the process with a couple different departments, and it's agonizingly slow. I landed my current job back in 2017, and posted a thread about flying out to Washington State and having three interviews in a row, which you wished me luck on. Best of luck to you as well in your current process!
