My opinion: Don't do it. You will be shooting yourself in the foot. Start looking for another job instead.

Resigning from a high salary position because of ethical concerns - with no back up job. I'm currently unemployed! I'm proud knowing money can't buy me like that.

Learning to say _no_ can be difficult for some. I certainly figured it out too late to save myself from burnout. It's worse when line managers or colleagues can see this and take advantage of it. Boundaries are important...

I stopped overdelivering. It just meant they expected even more, and being a cog in a giant machine meant my contributions were averaged out by those who did the bare minimum (or worse). It was easy once I became disillusioned with my area

I'm sure that around half of UK university lecturers, admins, and senior management also believe the degree is poor value for money. UK universities mostly exist to print money at the moment... For many students, university is a 3-4 ye
