I recently started my first full-time job as a desk editor at a well-known medical journal. I got the position about six months ago after my thesis supervisor informed me they were hiring. However, I've come to realize that this job isn't the right fit for me. While I enjoy the work, the pay is low, my boss is rarely around, and the office atmosphere is quite tense. I plan to stay for another 2-3 years to gain valuable experience and contacts, as this journal has a good reputation in my country. I've been involved in overseeing the editorial process, creating newsletters, recording podcasts, doing freelance translations, and modernizing systems. My main concern now is figuring out how to find similar desk editor roles in the future. Should I just send out my CV to various publishers and journals? Any advice on how to navigate this job search would be greatly appreciated. I'm based in southern Europe but I'm open to opportunities abroad.
