The Worklife Bowl

Sales BDM

I have been working from home since covid, over the past year I have been feeling as though I am wasting the best years of my life just in the house all of the time (I'm 32). I have recently been offered a job which sounds really great as an events and marketing manager at a local popular farm shop which is a world away from my tech job. I'm scared I feel as though the 'grass is greener', have people done the big move to office? If so can I hear your thoughts please? Thank you!
