I’ve been a customer service rep at a tech company for 1.5 years. I’m currently 26F.

I graduated with a bachelors in nutrition and quickly decided I didn’t want to do clinical. I had a very long depressive episode a year after college (was working as a health educator) and moved back home. Had a horrible time looking for a job and ended up working in retail while I figured out my mental health and things like that.

After, I moved across country for a job at a startup that didn’t work out, but now I’m at a company that’s doing very very well and growing like crazy so I’m happy to be here. BUT I am not happy in customer service.

I recently got approved to move into HR which is a field I’ve been wanting to get into. I’ve been working with our HR team for a 90 day internship that I am currently a couple weeks into. I’m enjoying the new things I’m learning and see a lot of growth opportunity in the company and this team.

but now I’m overthinking and not sure if this is the right way for me to go. Money is important to me for sure, and starting as an HR administrator (which is the role they will open) will probably not make much more than I already make. I’m just kind of stressed about everything and second guessing if I’m wasting my time trying to move into hr.

Any positive thoughts or advice is appreciated. I just tend to really stress myself out. I know I should be excited about this opportunity but all I’m doing is comparing myself to my boyfriends newly acquired job making 130k.

TLDR; I’ve been transitioning into HR out of customer service and enjoying the new things I’m learning but I’m worried this is a wrong move for me - I’m also comparing myself to my boyfriend who makes 130k.
