I just quit and it’s the happiest (work related) moment I’ve had in 3 years. I have no idea what comes next but I don’t really care.

I quit my last job 10 years ago and I still think that day brought me as much joy as having my two kids. I despised that place.

I quit one like that, but I was so traumatized it took me a month just to unwind. Thankfully I gave myself 6 weeks notice. 😂

Has anyone ever made the jump from consulting to being a full time creative?

Recently I've realized that consulting isn't what I wanna do, but more broadly idk if a 9-5 business job is for me either. I've always wanted to make films and write books but I rarely see anyone in our industry make this kind of jump. Also finances 🥴

Overall I'm just not sure if I can see myself doing this for the next 30 years

After 12 rounds of me vs my adhd - its still a LOVE/HATE relationship. I conclude I’m in the wrong career as a result. I love being smart, excelling, having random super human skills. But my career/stalemate with my own mind makes me feel like I am the biggest loser fuck up ever. All the time. I 1000% understand why work isn’t working out. I empathize for all involved > they probs deserve. Thrilled to figure this out but OH F$CK this is gonna get BAD bad before it gets fixed. Commiserate?

Has anyone taken the Harvard CS50 Introduction to Computer Science?

I have been learning Data Analytics and Data Visualization since 2017 but my background and education is in real estate finance.

I'm two lessons into the edex Harvard cs50 course and I haven't learned anything new yet.
