What Have I Done?

August 7, 2022

I’ve done it. I quit my job. Cue the “what have I done!?” tsunami.

Just joking.

It wasn’t a rash decision. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.

I’m 31 with nine years of experience in finance.

Things have been going smoothly, or at least they appear to be from the outside looking in…

But the recent reality has been a struggle as I face a growing dissatisfaction with my career.

The initial allure of working in finance wore off after the first few years, and the dissatisfaction started creeping its way in, ultimately morphing into full blown unhappiness over the last 2-3 years.

After a mega-dose of introspection, I’ve become much more critical of my choices and my career, and I have more clarity than ever before about what’s important to me in life.
