Leaving PA for my dream school next year for a career pivot. However still have awhile before I can leave (there’s no reason to forgo a paycheck for even longer than I already have to…). I have no idea how I’ll make it through busy season without quitting on the spot 😩

I think any negative experience becomes more tolerable when there is a defined end date. Kind of like how earlier in the pandemic we thought "2 weeks? Nbd" and now there's no end in sight people feel more negative.

I agree with the above. It’s way more manageable when you know there’s an end in sight. As bad as it sounds, don’t kill yourself! You are going to be leaving, so no need to go above and beyond if you are completely leaving PA.

What school you going too? What career pivot? And what degree?
