Today marks the start of my first week of unemployment after quitting. My boss and I were into each other, but he refused to pursue anything with me while I worked there because it would’ve been unethical. So I quit.
Worth it.

I had what a lot of people would probably consider the ideal job situation.
I paid my dues and worked moderately hard for 4 years. The company grew from a medium sized company to a massive company. Everything was bogged down by bureaucracy. I ended up being a tiny cog of a massive machine. It felt like what I worked on didn’t really matter anymore and because of the bureaucracy I was only really working 10 maybe 20 hours a week. The work-life balance, perks were all amazing. But I was still young at the time (pre-30) and I thought it was way too early in my career to stop giving a fuck.
So I quit and got a job at a startup. Lots of work, but it also felt like I was learning again. It felt like I was being challenged. I don’t regret it, but maybe if I ever get burned out I will try to find a job like that again.
