I’ve decided that I’m leaving by August, either to grad school or another job. Even though I have an end date, I’m still just as miserable, and August seems so far away. Any advice?

It really helped me knowing that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, especially when things really sucked. I was doing grad school while working full time at a terrible company and the only thing that got me out of bed was knowing it was temporary and I was moving in a better direction. I know that doesn’t really help, but I had to consciously adjust how I viewed the world and do a mental check when I really got down on myself leading up to the moment I finally left my shitty company for something better

But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
