Did I Trade My Freedom for a Bigger Paycheck?

I recently made what seemed like a dream move—leaving my laid-back remote engineering job for a shiny new in-office role with a fatter paycheck and a fancy title. Now, instead of rolling out of bed and logging in, I’m stuck in traffic for 40 minutes every morning, paying nearly $900 in rent, and dodging coworkers who think my cubicle is a public park. I thought this would be a step up, both for my career and my personal growth. But honestly? I miss my family, my old routine, and the freedom I had. Working with hardware means remote gigs are rare, so I felt like I had to take this shot. But now I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve lost more than I’ve gained. Has anyone else felt this way after a big job change? How do you get past the regret and make peace with your decision? I could really use some advice right now. 😞 #CareerChange #WorkplaceStruggles #JobRegret #JobCareer
