Stay in this job or pastures new?

So, in a work meeting with my manager, he sparked a thought in me to consider a new job.

I've been in my current job, nearly two years in February. I still have moments of anxiety yet changes are in place that a part of me wants to see how it pans out yet I don't have a plan for my next career move.

Plus the organisation where I work now, it has its problems. Mainly organisational and hierarchical issues with people not fulfilling their roles so I feel with my anxiety/lack of assertiveness, if I make a mistake then it gets hidden because the whole organisation is riddle with mistakes at times. Yet if I went elsewhere to a more professional organisation, my mistakes might be more exposed and I'd feel worse.

I'm probably more likely to stay as part of me wants to leave when I've achieved a relative sense of calm to my anxiety and have challenged myself in the role.

Is there a new job on the table, or would you be looking for something new? Sounds like you've answered your own question, if there's more to master in this job, and you're not completely miserable and in a comfortable routine to be able to also give time and attention to working on your anxiety then I'd vote stay and conquer what there is to conquer and then move on and upwards. No harm in seeing what's out there though.
