So I haven't posted here before but I just wanna let people know that it's okay to leave when you've had enough.
Im a 23 yr old designer who worked at an engineering firm as a cad designer and really fell out of love for the work. Part of that is due to me wanting to have a more normal work-life balance and the other because management is incompetent and leaves no time to complete work which left everyone stressed & depressed including me.
I the remote/office work really really wasn't for me and I really thought long nights about this new career path since I'm also looking to go back to school for my electrical engineering degree.
I've studied the field I'm going into quite a bit (of course I'll be a green thumb in the filed I'm jumping Into but they really wanna teach me new stuff at this new firm (also comes with better pay and benefits).
I'm kinda sad to see my co-workers go but this field excites me and allows me to travel and explore and learn which I'm hyped about. I should say this is my first time actually quitting my first professional job so it's all very new to me.
When I quit, my boss was so shocked and surprised. It was fun seeing his face as I said I'm leaving but taking that leap of faith is so so important.
I've had sleepless night trying to figure out what I truly want and I think this new path might be a great way to explore that avenue.
Hope you all find what you need to find joy in the things you do and don't be afraid to take that jump into the unknown
