So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I've been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).
Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I'm betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I'm interviewing for I'd see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).
Yeah but this is a lie 100% of the time. lmao
I had to... uhh... take care of a sick family member "full-time" (unsaid: it was myself). I'm a great wage slave, I promise!
Exactly. It's not regarded as a serious point of consideration in interview, in part because there's just 100 bigger priorities to interviewers and in part because the excuses are unquestionable even if they are always bs. Interviewers just have to accept the excuse in all cases because in some of them they might be true and there's so many excuses everywhere it's not worth a strike for them, therefore there is literally no issue with it.
