Should I stay at my current job or find something else, what do you think?
>new job, started in march
>no experience, only hired on because im versatile and can learn fast and the previous hire before me was absolutely awful
>managerial role, never done before
>learning a whole new field/career path, very interesting and kind of fun
>more and more responsibilities being packed on to me
>also swamped with the backlog of work from before March, because the previous people made so many errors and got fired, basically have to fix everything by myself with very little help
>constantly coming home, constantly stressing about work for what feels like 24/7
>the training i get is just okay
>best pay ill ever get at my age with my past experience
It's kind of enjoyable, but it's just so much work that I constantly come home feeling so stressed out. Might take a vacation soon so I can just clear my head. Part of it's my fault for not setting boundaries better with work and having no hobbies, but the stress always makes me wonder if this is truly the best thing for me.

I would stick with it if only because it would look way worse on your resume if you quit only a few months into your job. With no other experience, your resume will look quite poor. If you can stick with it for a few years, you can have something really nice on your resume and that can help you get a better job.

Maybe you’re not used to having a lot of work. Every job has its moments where you will be swamped. It shouldn’t be all the time, but they happen occasionally and you should be able to handle high stress periods from time to time. I would look at this as an opportunity and not squander it.

I hope this image relieves some of your stress.

Thank you for the advice. I think you're right, this is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of.

Part of me feels that I just crumble under pressure, but that will just take time to build resilience and whatnot. I decided to just face my stress and see where I can go with this.

It's just my fears of failing getting the best of me, and just not knowing everything (I've been told it will take at least a year for me to get everything).

Once again, thanks.

Unless it's absolutely unbearable, try to stay in any job at least a year. Short jobs look bad on your resume

You need to work on your boundaries. That might be kind of hard because you've already established a precedent, but this is easier than scrapping everything entirely and starting from scratch. I don't know where you live, but having good pay while doing something even a little bit enjoyable is hard to find, outside running your own business. So you need to exhaust the easier methods of resolution before quitting.

I had a co-worker in a somewhat similar situation, but worse. He'd been with the company for 10 years but was constantly looked over and undervalued, despite his job being extremely integral to how the business runs. All because he never spoke up for himself, never took credit for things, and always did things that he saw needed doing without telling people he was taking on those tasks. Meanwhile I always have a constant voice of presence, made the things I've done / am doing clearly known and took the time to touch base with important people in the company on a regular basis. I've only been with the company 2 years and I already make more than the co-worker. They literally created a new position and promoted me into it because they couldn't even fathom adding responsibilities without increasing pay. Meanwhile my friend / co-worker is moving heaven and earth sometimes and not even getting a thank you.

He left the company for a better opportunity a couple weeks ago, but that was because the negative precedents had been established way too long to be changed. You aren't at that point. But I'm illustrating what will happen if you don't course correct ASAP.

Thank you. I have a lot to learn but I definitely needed to hear these things to clear my mind.

Yeah man, you've got it. A lot of people might complain about their jobs. But they leave out the part they play in creating that situation. Most of the time, people aren't nearly as helpless as they make their situation out to be. All you really need to do is be professional, up front, and reasonably firm while easing into this. I don't know if you can abruptly pull off shutting things down, but gradually over a few weeks? Absolutely. Just take your time and remain professional and approachable while holding firm. You'll be fine.
