Depends on age. At 20-30? Yes, bc work is part of a social life and being connected to society. 30-40? Maybe, depending on family needs (I chose to bc I liked having an outside life and would not enjoy stay at home parenting.) 40-50 is where it gets harder to stay. When things are good and you are advancing and relevant, it’s great and meaningful and engaging, but when bad management is killing the vibe and you are not getting anything out of it but the paycheck? Then you start thinking hard about how your time could be better spent and it’s not a big leap to quitting from there.

I wouldn’t for sure. It’s definitely good to have professional skills, and corporate experience can instill discipline, it helped me “get out of myself”, but I’d probably have quit 10 years in and focused on my hobbies like music, or helping people with their projects - for which I’d want some compensation but not much. I’ve thought about this a lot and still trying to get rich, clearly.

Nope

Great question. I would still want to work even if I didn’t need the $ or the medical benefits, yes. I love my job and for the most part my company. But I’d probably be more verbal/braver about calling shit out.

Nope. No way.

Hell no!

No but I’d give them extra extra notice and set them up for success before I go.

Yeah, I love my job, but I would be more about taking risks with client work rather than being more agreeable with stupid client requests.

Lmao no

No

I’d mentor. I’d love to do this job minus the constant deadlines.

No.
