#CareerChange #LifeLessons #CorporateWorld #JobAdvice
Hey everyone, I recently made a big decision to quit my job after over 20 years in the corporate world. It wasn’t an easy choice, but I needed to prioritize my mental and emotional well-being. Here’s what I learned from my experience:
🔹 Always update your skill set to stay relevant in your industry.
🔹 Don’t let your job consume your entire life – prioritize your health and relationships.
🔹 Network internally and explore other roles within your company.
🔹 Find your purpose, both in your career and personal life.
🔹 Manage your finances and aim to be debt-free for peace of mind.
🔹 Improve your communication and presentation skills to stand out at work.
🔹 Don’t take it personally if you’re not appreciated – stay resilient and keep pushing forward.
🔹 Speak up and schedule meetings with your superiors to address any concerns.
🔹 Document everything in emails to have proof of your accomplishments.
🔹 Prepare for a career change by lining up interviews and engaging in activities you enjoy.

Is Covid a bad word?
What really sucks is the large amount of people without integrity. These people always make it to the top. The person who does the right thing and does their job will always get crapped on.
I’m also 43M and been ready to say fuck it for a while. I hate the rat race. I’m just trying to coast. I have a remote role so that helps. I wanna take my passion for mead making and turn it into a business. I need to build a separated garage on my property to license it. Good luck!
“My advice isn’t to quit your job today”
Mine is, otherwise more people will end up wasting their youth and lives as you have.
“The working inhabitants of a modern city are people who live inside a machine to be batted around by its wheels. They spend their days in activities which largely boil down to counting and measuring, living in a world of rationalized abstraction which has little relation to or harmony with the great biological rhythms and processes. As a matter of fact, mental activities of this kind can now be done far more efficiently by machines than by men — so much so that in a not too distant future the human brain may be an obsolete mechanism for logical calculation. Already the human computer is widely displaced by mechanical and electrical computers of far greater speed and efficiency. If, then, man’s principal asset and value is his brain and his ability to calculate, he will become an unsaleable commodity in an era when the mechanical operation of reasoning can be done more effectively by machines.”—Alan Watts, in 1951
