Rather confused what to do.
My name is Ioanna and am in the middle thirties. I have a bachelor in Business Administration and a master degree in Finance. Since 1998, almost a decade, I am working as a financial analyst in a private bank. My department is responsible for small business抯 financing and I am in charge of appraising the financial state of small companies that apply for business loans. Even though, the first five years were quite productive and I got through to be promoted twice to the position of appraiser C, the last five years I am stucked in the same position. In January, one of appraisers B left the company and I applied for this placement. Unfortunately, my application was rejected and the place was given to a colleague who was two years older than me but has no master degree. Even worse, it took him three months to grasp what the job is about since was coming from another finance department that has almost nothing to do with small business financing. I like my job but the last rejection really got me very disappointed. On the other hand, the company I am working is one of the most respectful in, the salary I get is rather good but at the same time I could not help doing the same thing any more. Whenever, I think to leave the company, as my colleague did, I do not feel liking getting the hassles of finding another job. Could you please help me figure out what to do?
