How do you know whether you’re running from something or toward something? I’m halfway through my notice period after finally quitting public, and I thought I’d feel empowered… but now I’m panicking. What if I just blew up my career? What if the new role is worse? I can’t tell if I made a brave decision or a reckless one.

TIA!
