I can definitely relate to that. I thought I’d be happy at my old job because the pay was so good, but the hours were long and the work was exhausting. I convinced myself taking a lesser paying job would be a step down and make my life worse, but after a particularly bad month I took the plunge and left. I’m making less now, but the schedule is sane and the work hits the right balance between not too difficult but not too easy either.

I’m more bothered by keyboard warriors intent on gatekeeping.
