New job more likely before wedding

Breathe! At this point everything is out of your control, so just try to enjoy the weeks leading up to your wedding! If it's meant to be, you'll get the job and everything will fall into place. But if not, it just means that your dream job is still out there waiting for you. You got this!

Better to deal with interview jitters that go away than a horrible working environment, you're doing the right thing! The right job will be understanding of your upcoming plans and will work with you, don't sweat it.

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! I will try to just be calm and focus on being excited for the big day and honeymoon

As long as you’re honest with them about the time you’ll be off during the interview process you should be in the clear. You’ll also be happier leading up to the wedding if you’re not dreading going back to work. Good luck!

Good luck on your interview! I was in a similar boat. I am getting married in September and just put in my notice at my current job. I was honest with my new job about the time I would need off and they are also super understanding -- much more so than my current job. Accepting my new position has taken a load off of my shoulders. It's given me such a clearer head and happier being knowing my toxic work environment is almost over that of the past!

You're going to crush your interview! Just breathe. Good luck!

Good luck on your interview! I was furloughed at the beginning of covid and got married in September. I was put under the impression that I wouldn’t be brought back around July and they randomly called me to start back two weeks before my wedding. It was stressful and an emotional roller coaster. I had the option to wait the two weeks and return after the wedding but I didn’t want the anxiety hanging over my head. I’m so glad I went back before the wedding because it took all the “what if” stressors with work away. If you can get some closure or new hope before the wedding, do it! Starting something new is scary but being miserable is... miserable.

I understand!! While I really like my current job, we have been working from home this past year and just received word that we will most likely be heading back to work 5 days a week/8 hours a day right before my wedding. While working from home has had plenty of challenges, I haven't missed being IN the office much and am dreading going back in every single day, not to mention possibly right before our wedding. So I hear you, the stress is coming from all angles and while we are blessed to have such stress, it still is difficult to navigate! I wish I had better advice, but all I keep telling myself is all "change" is a transition that brings pros, cons and stress! Let yourself feel the feelings as they come and I wish you nothing but the best in this hopeful new endeavor!

I agree with this!! Good luck on the interview!!!

It sounds like you've already had the interview, so I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Even if you don't start the new job until after the wedding just having that light at the end of the tunnel with your current job could be all you need.

Keep your chin up, you got this!

I hope everything went well/goes well! I think if you do end up getting a different job that is much less toxic, it'll take a load off and let you enjoy a little more! I started a new job at the very end of December last year and like you, I was very honest and said I'd need time off this year. Of course I had almost a full year before I needed the time but I wanted to make sure they wouldn't deny it and they said no problem and already approved my week and a half off! So fingers crossed everything works out!

Getting out of a toxic environment will only be a good thing!
