Finally

"I want to do more of this!" and there is already a position in the company where you can achieve what you want, then you should change positions. If there is no position, but you can present the need for it to the company, you may be able to create a new position. If you have a certain level of skill, you may consider going independent.

So what if there is no position, you can't present the need for it to the company, and you're not confident in your skills? I think many people think of the options of either taking the plunge and changing jobs or working at their current company while doing private activities.

was hired as an engineer by my current company, but a series of small opportunities to write daily reports and technical articles made me want to do more of "writing," which I had always loved. But there was no such position in the company, and I couldn't present the need for it, so I just liked writing but didn't have that many skills, so I was in a state of nothing. I had realized what I wanted to do, so I was wondering what to do next, when I happened to meet with Yamamoto-san, the founder and president of the company at the time, and he asked me, "What do you want to do next?"

A safe answer came to mind, but I didn't want to lie to Yamamoto-san, so I answered honestly, "Engineering is rewarding and fun, but I really want to do writing as well." At this point, I was thinking in my head, "Oh, I said it. Is this the course to change jobs? Tears." Then

Yamamoto-san said, "I see. Then you can work as a writer for us." Me: "...Huh!? Are you sure?!" A new path was easily opened up for me. When I told him that I was also thinking about changing jobs, he said, "It would be a waste to leave the company without doing what you want to do at the company when you have the possibility to do it. When you leave the company, I would be happy if you leave by graduating after doing everything you can here."

I'd like to thank Yamamoto-san for giving me the opportunity to try something new, and all the employees who readily supported that challenge. I felt that the background to the creation of this article reflects our company culture itself, so I decided to write it as a "final word." Thank you for reading to the end.
