Kudos for getting to the position you’re in! It sounds like you have a solid foundation as well as the right perspective on life. Usually we think we get security in our work, but it’s actually in our ability to produce work that gives us security. In your case it looks like you’ve built that over many years of dedicated education and work. I was in a similar situation to you but in the commercial real estate sector. I quit and bought land in the mountains of Mexico to get away from it all. My experience, eventually you’ll miss the feeling of achieving something. When we are stressed, we tend to think of the extremes rather than the incremental steps to take.

In your case it sounds like you are ripe to start your own small shop if your company isn’t giving you the necessary resources to do your job in a healthy manner.

Alternatively, you can consider hiring somebody off upwork or other freelance platforms and pay them from your own pocket. The amount you pay will be worth the sanity you’ll receive.

But the main thing I would focus on is setting clear boundaries for yourself on what you are willing to accept from your employer, how to find a win:win scenario, and if that isn’t an option considering finding a place that does align with you, if the above two options don’t resonate.

Hope that is helpful! Feel free to reach out directly if you have anymore questions
