I’m seriously considering going back to a small business I used to work for. Being in 2 large back to back consulting firms has given me so much anxiety and I’m fearing now depression. I’m so stressed out and drained all the time but everyone says to only make career progressions. And not go back. I know I left for a reason - but that was because I cared more about “prestige” at the time. Now I care for caring companies & work life balance. Agh I don’t know what to do! :(

If you can make the switch then you have nothing to lose from screwing up at your current job. Why don’t you plan to witch in the next x moths with the goal of overcoming fear and anxiety at your current job. Easier said than done but surely possible. Will make you stronger and more successful in life in general.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
