Many twentysomethings have had the privilege of quickly finding a new job if they feel their current job isn’t offering them what they desire. Now that a recession is looming, many may be asking themselves, How can I stay in this job? My chance to exit my unfulfilling job is a ticking time bomb. Can I stay? Should I go? This is the dilemma the many young executives are struggling with. They have been in their current job for a few years or less. They have always believed they could find another opportunity with upward mobility — better pay, better title, better benefits. Is that gravy train near the end?
Increasingly, the more common question is, How do I stay where I am and search for an opportunity within my current employer? As Coaches, we know the job market has traditionally been in the favor of new opportunities and new jobs. The current market situation and impending recession, however, may make changing companies less of an option.
