I stuck things out as long as I could reasonably get off with at my last job past which there would have been "difficult conversations" for a variety of reasons (COVID factored in too)--but that was around the time I had decided I was going to semi-retire anyway. Actually, stayed a bit longer than planned. I still do some analyst work.
