She asked if changing jobs this year was a good idea

A client asked if she should change jobs or cities in the second half of the year. I told her this year’s changes tend to be effort with little result, and suggested waiting until next year.

I want to change my workplace in the second half of the year. Is that a good idea? I’m even thinking of moving to a different city. Also, will I be able to do well in the profession I’m in right now?

我下半年想换个工作地方，妥不妥？甚至想换个城市？另外，目前我从事的职业我能不能做好？

Wu Chen [redacted] 1. Change of work location This year, the Sheep Blade connects with the earthly branch, which usually brings notable career changes — either a position transfer or a change of location. There should have already been one change in spring. The second round will happen between October and November. Most changes this year end up being effort with little result, but they are also mostly unavoidable. If you don’t leave on your own this year, other external factors will push your career to change. Personally, I think it’s better to stay stable this year. Next year’s year chart is better than this year’s. I suggest waiting until next year to make a move. Also, around spring and November this year, there will be relatively large financial losses, or splitting money with others. You need to pay attention to that. 2. Current career path

戊辰 [redacted] 1 工作地点变动今年羊刃接地，易有显著的事业变动，变岗或者更换地点，春季应该已经出现过一次变动，第二轮将在10-11月发生。今年的变动多数是劳而无功，但基本也逃脱不了，如果今年你不主动走，那么就有其他外界因素推动你的事业发生变化。我个人建议今年求稳更合适。明年的流年优于今年，建议明年再求动。另外，今年春与11月前后都有较大耗财，或者与人分账，需要注意。 2 目前职业路径

So the first change was accurate.

所以第一次变动是准的

Mm. There’s basically no way around that one. It was set to happen.

嗯这个基本都没啥转圜的注定发生

I don’t recommend making a move this year.

今年我不建议动

Because moving leads to no result.

因为动而无果
