Hey! It's my first post, I missed the first one. I found my first IT-related job, and I am really enjoying it.

The thing is that I am almost certain I'll go back to study

This is because I am spending 4h on public transport to arrive at the place (2h go, 2h come back) and it's not the kind of job you can stay in forever. Low salary and almost no possibility to promote.

What do you all think? There are more things to tell, but I want to hear other voices :)

I am in the last semester of my studies which I resumed again because my current job had no room for growth. It was a huge amount of money that had definitely upgraded my knowledge and abilities, but I'm not convinced it will translate to a better job, at least right away. Will probably take 6-12 months to find a better role I am anticipating

Are your studies related to the job you have quite (or planning to quit)?

If not, I think the waiting would be a fair price to get a job in which you are happier in my opinion
