The company I was working for had zero signs of career growth. My then boss did not have my best interests at heart. It slowly diminished my purpose and will to continue working there. I lost my interest in working. Had to leave before it wrecked me. Now I'm in a much better place where I enjoy the work I do and have gotten more career opportunities.

I just switched to have a shorter commute and to get more money. So far I’m happy with it.

Yes I am glad a change was made. For me it was a significant bump in pay and a better team of people to work with. Previously it was less pay and the people on my team were not supportive and did not try to help each other succeed which would have made projects we got assigned sooooo much easier.

My prior job treated us very poorly with no support at all during COVID. The new job was supportive, flexible, more relevant and better paid

I changed for a better commute
