I left my job seven months ago and couldn't be happier. I was in a rut, overworked, underpaid (thanks to 20% pay cuts)and miserable. I have spent my time soul searching, applying to grad school and attempting a career transition. I won't lie, it's slim pickins out there, but I saved diligently for about a year leading up to it so I could take the time off I needed to choose wisely. Good luck with your decision!

@me in millions – what was the final factor that made you realize leaving was the right thing to do?

I'm in a rut at work too, which is why I'm leaving. Sometimes you just have to do what you know will make you happy. Hopefully a new job is it!

I've also been struggling with reaching out and looking for the past few months. Headhunters have been calling but I'm not sure why I hesitate. Except that I love my coworkers and the office in general but I am highly overwork, underpaid and under-valued and it's common knowledge. I needed this push.
