Quitting My Tech Job: Freedom or Just More Problems? 🤔

Today is my last day at work, and honestly, I’m not sure if I should be celebrating or panicking. After nine years in tech and a PhD in engineering, I thought I’d have it all figured out by now. But the office politics, endless meetings, and constant pressure to outperform have left me totally drained. I hit my financial goal—$3M net worth, a paid-off house in a small Texas city, and some risky investments for fun. But now that I’m actually stepping away, I’m suddenly overwhelmed by what comes next. I want to travel, pick up new hobbies, maybe even learn a language, but the uncertainty is eating at me. Has anyone else felt this lost after leaving a high-stress job? How did you deal with the anxiety and find your next purpose? I’d love to hear your advice. 😅 #CareerChange #WorkplaceStruggles #LifeAfterWork #JobCareer
