I've been working at a consulting firm for almost six years. Tons of people quit to make their own startups or go into another industry. For me, I'm just thinking of taking a six month leave next year so I can live in Europe, not work unless I want to, and pursue the arts. I'm thinking of doing a lot of traveling, photography, and writing.
I think a lot of the angst people have about corporate jobs is that people think about what they are missing out on. I think it's really important to not lose sight of what you enjoy, even if you only have a few hours a week to enjoy it.
- plant42 11y agoDefinitely agree. If you're thinking that you're missing out on life then make the change, go down a tangential path. Do not go through life bitching & whining that you didn't make the most of an opportunity. Take the sabbatical and go to Europe for 6 months. If it turns out to not be what you expected, so what, you've learned something and grown.
- ececconi 11y agoThe only real expectation that I have is that I'll come out of it with tons of experiences. Who knows what'll happen or not happen.
