Hey, I had a stretch for almost 2 1/2 years where my work and field really no longer interested me.
I had really enjoyed it and then just felt like I had done it all.
It took a completely new market arriving with new technology and a new culture in the environment to finally snap me out of it.
The doldrums were f*cking awful. Eventually I realized I had to quit because I was so chronically unhappy and bored and underutilized.
my curiosity is the only thing that let me know when it was time. I simply couldn’t find anything better until I started fiddling around and fell deep into my side activities and finally had enough and quit.
If you are like me, you may literally have to leave behind an entire career in one market or skillset and plan on another ten year arc in some new growth market where all the fun is.
Financially this has been a heavy burden. I may or may not make it.
Financial burden is something I would take upon me. But financial burden at the moment of experiencing it feels more like an existential burden. After reaching the light at the end of the tunnel it becomes a mere financial problem.
> I may or may not make it.
What does that mean? That does sound rather existential. But then again I probably understand what you mean. It's a dire and stressful situation to be in.
