After 20 years with the same company, I know it’s time to make a transition. The long commute and the cultural changes over the past few years have made me realize I need to prioritize not just my career growth, but also my quality of life.

For those who’ve left a role after a long tenure, especially around age 50 ,how did you manage the change? Was it harder than expected, or did it open doors you didn’t see before?

I’d love to hear your stories as I prepare for this next chapter. Thank you!!

I am not in my 50s. Early 40s. I feel like I’m slacking on prioritizing my needs thinking about the “carrot” a head of me…. But it’s dwindling. I don’t want to get to this point. What were your warning signs that got you here?

I am not quite 50, but I think the hardest part will be detangling yourself and self perception from the role. Do you plan to keep working or retire? I think know you have a next step to look forward to it will make the transition more exciting.
