Walking Away From a Six-Figure Tech Job—Am I Crazy?

After eight years in tech, I’m finally calling it quits. On paper, $175k sounds like a dream, but in reality? It’s been a nightmare. The office is packed with egos, insecurity, and a level of arrogance that’s honestly exhausting. I’ve tried to tough it out, but it’s left me drained, cynical, and honestly, questioning my sanity. Now, I’m looking at a total pivot—maybe coaching athletes, teaching, or even starting a charity. I might keep some consulting gigs just to pay the bills, but I’m desperate for something that actually matters. Has anyone else walked away from a cushy paycheck for their sanity? I’d love to hear your stories or advice. Is it really that crazy to want more out of life? 🤔 #CareerChange #WorkplaceStruggles #LifeAfterTech #JobCareer
