Like the title says, pretty straightforward. Would appreciate industry, backstory, and any other relevant context.
I’m curious for a few reasons – to motivate others to leave their toxic jobs, to see what’s realistic, etc.
I’ve also seen some people in this sub post astronomical salary leaps when they got a new job; and what strikes me is the job they left was very toxic and unenjoyable, so why didn’t they leave it sooner if such better options were available?
I personally haven’t pulled off anything too spectacular. Recently left my toxic job for a ~$5k annual increase and actual bonus potential (although I don’t put much stock into bonuses until they’re actually received). But so far the easier workload and reduction in stress has made me feel happy with my decision.
What about you?
