Ended up not applying for it because the amount of stuff I read is just overwhelming. Oh well, on to the next stuff.

I randomly found a job offer for assistant editor in a science journal that is in my city, in English, and only requires a masters degree. It sounds perfect for me, only issue is that it's full time in office and idk if I won't burn out like, immediately, from sitting in an office for eight hours a day... it's also a half hour commute one way from my apartment.

On one hand it would be nice to have good money and stable employment, on the other I wouldn't have time and probably energy to do almost anything else if I would work full time. Do I wanna try? Or is it a recipe for disaster? Hell knows :)

#there was so much info about this place like holy shit #apparently the science journals this publisher has are shit quality #they are just focused on pumping out as many articles as possible #the workers have monthly goals of how many articles they need to get out #and if you don't meet the goal - even if it wasn't your fault - you might get fired #management and anyone up the chain is micromanaging everyone 24/7 #if they don't like you for some reason they will publicly shame you in emails and teams messages #the pay is shit considering they require at least a master's degree #and to top it all off a person literally died in one of their offices #because management wouldn't let them call an ambulance #also the office is open space :)#anyway after burning out really bad from the phd i don't think i'm mentally prepared to deal with this much shit #i'm still considering applying to the bookshop for minimum wage......#but apart from the fact that i am horrible at customer service it's also apparently the kind of place where you need to stand almost all da #and my EDS and dysautonomia would probably get in the way of that #god i have so few options. i knew finding a job would be hard but i did not expect it to be so bad :/#sorry for the rant i am stressed as hell because of this #we still have money for a couple months but like. i just don't know what i can do with all the disabilities i have #and i am so worried about the future
