I have been working in my current position for about 3.5 years now. Moving from Taiwan to China and working here has been a great experience, I've built some valuable connections, met some nice people, really a big step for my mid-early 20s.
But what bothers me is that in my position it requires no creativities whatsoever and there's no "uniqueness". Anyone can do my job if they're skilled enough, and this "skill" is not hard to gain at all, just get familiar with all the internal processes. My job description is more like a project coordinator, as I only run errands for clients (making quotation sheets, arranging cars etc), and thinking about constantly doing that for my entire youth really depresses me. I see no future promotion opportunities as company is cutting down expenses, even if I do get promoted, I will still be doing pretty much the same stuff, except I tell people to run errands for the clients. So when I am say 35 and the company found someone else who's younger and can do just as good as I do with far less money, I am pretty much screwed. This is not the life I want.
I want a healthy environment where it will constantly challenge my capability, my creativity and productivity. I want to enjoy what I do and get REALLY good at that.
So I've been planning to leave and for my next steps since about a year ago. I've made a two months trip to NYC this year. As I absolutely loved the city, I was looking at opportunities to advance my study there & getting employed afterwards. I ended up having some really great results from my trip.
But in general these past weeks all I am having in mind are doubts and confusion. I don't know exactly if NYC is the right choice for me, I know I desperately want it, but am I right? Am I making rational decisions? Will I survive after my move?
I know I am the only person who''s able to answer all that. But my real question is, how do you improve your self confidence to "BELIEVE" that you will do well? How are you confident enough to "REACH OUT"? I guess I am pretty clear where I should go next, but this self-doubt and hesitation are what's stopping me from making any actions.
Finally, thank you for reading this long post as this is definitely a 2 am sleep deprived thought.
