Want to Leave Corporate

What the title says. I’m ready to leave corporate. I (31F) have worked in the HR staffing sector for over 7 years, and corporate in general for 12. I thought what I do in HR was my passion. A lot has changed in my personal life and I feel I need to be more present, even though I work from home. I make absolute trash (thanks to layoffs during COVID and losing a couple positions), I’m overworked, and overwhelmed. I’ve considered going to serving 3 days a week. I’d probably make what I do, if not more, doing 3 days. But, I’m terrified. I’ll need health insurance for at least my kid and I (already pay $350 a month through current position for it), and I haven’t been a server in many years. Just looking to see if anyone else has made the same move and are happier all around.…


What the title says. I’m ready to leave corporate. I (31F) have worked in the HR staffing sector for over 7 years, and corporate in general for 12. I thought what I do in HR was my passion.

A lot has changed in my personal life and I feel I need to be more present, even though I work from home. I make absolute trash (thanks to layoffs during COVID and losing a couple positions), I’m overworked, and overwhelmed.

I’ve considered going to serving 3 days a week. I’d probably make what I do, if not more, doing 3 days.

But, I’m terrified. I’ll need health insurance for at least my kid and I (already pay $350 a month through current position for it), and I haven’t been a server in many years.

Just looking to see if anyone else has made the same move and are happier all around. Of course, I know there are bad days everywhere, but I can’t help think about the green grass on a different side.

Thank you for your insight ️
