I maxed out at $75k as an accountant. W/ no degree I felt lucky? But I had worked at that company putting in overtime for 7 yrs straight. Brought my son to work instead of PTO. Relocated. Waited for free health insurance only for the benefit to be taken away when I got my 5 yrs.

Especially if you deal w/ a lifelong mental illness (like bipolar depression.) The corporate environment was just never going to be healthy for me, ever. I was tired of fighting it. Not saying it’s easy to explore new career paths, but please believe me you CAN put yourself 1st.

I’m so happy you are sharing this truth. So many are suffering and have been made to feel that it’s the only option.

I was so so so angry all the time when I worked in an "office". I thought there was something wrong with me. It is only when I started working as a freelancer did I realise there is something wrong with forcing people to sit in cubicles for 60 hours a week.

The crying in the parking lot is a red flag and yet I stayed thinking I needed to rough it out. I’d only been there for 7months.
Bad move, bad decision but quitting never felt so good. I had squirreled money away. That job zapped my mental and emotional hard

Glad you got out.

I’m an accountant & feel same. I literally have anxiety about work, the meetings (I’m overlooked), the back-biting, the performance reviews, all while knowing these employers DGAF about me. I checked out mentally long ago. I’m $12 thousand from goal of $60 to start a new life.

Lol the part that would enrage me was feeling obligated to work overtime to make sure those numbers were right. All of that stress so rich white men could get bonuses and earn hundreds of thousands more than I ever had a chance to make. I hope you meet your goal soon!
