Um, yes, literally everyone has considered it. Pros: Less work, only one “client”, better pay immediately. Cons: less chance for career advancement.

I left last year and I absolutely love it. Pros from above are spot on but not too sure I agree with the one con mentioned. Maybe a further explanation from K1 would help to see if I agree or not.

Think of this every year, and as you can see I'm a manager lol. I agree with K1, caveat is that for the Con: it depends on whare you go after

I stayed till manager thought about leaving but happy I stayed I make more than the offers I was getting leaving as a senior.

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.
