2 weeks of stability . . .
I resigned from my job in IT a little over two weeks ago.Am I totally MAAAD.
I have a good stable job in the IT Department of large investment bank. I have been in the same team doing the same role for over 5 years. I got promoted in the new year to Assistant Vice President. . . of what, I am not too certain, but it looks pretty good on business card or on the bottom of an email.
I am giving all this up and returning back to Australia jobless with no security. I must be totally bonkers!
After giving this much thought over the last 2 years - it has been two years since Sheldon and I first went to Tasmania - I have decided that I am mad and bonkers if I were to STAY in this role. I do not enjoy what I am doing although I am seemingly good at it. I fell into this type of career 8 years ago once I came to London - I call it my "accidental career".
I have 2 weeks to go and 4 weeks pay left. I think that we can survive without a little security. It is now up to Sheldon and I to create that security and then live with it.
I look forward to the challenge. . .

Some might say that you were mad to stay in the job.
It depends on perspective.
