The insanity of these IROPs is nuts. I have 19 years to 65. I’m only half way there. I just can’t picture working for this place that long. I think we go bankrupt before we get bought. We’re just a tier above spirit. Too toxic to trust. Personally for me its never been about money.
I don’t think it’s crazy that you’re ready to jump ship and I also don’t think it’s crazy that you were here for as long as you were.
Even if things improve here I doubt you’ll ever look back and wish you stayed.
Do you have an interview lined up? I know it’s getting harder to get on these days and you might still be looking at well over a year before you’re sitting in class. This might give you enough time to reassess either way.
