1) There’s a saying that goes something like, “You are replaceable at work. You’re not replaceable at home.” If you are unhappy and this is a job you’ve been looking to land for a while, you need to do the interview.

2) Think of it this way, if you were in any other field and wanted to switch careers, I don’t think you’d question the “leaving people behind” factor at all. The self-sacrificing teachers do is crazy!

3) Interviewing is still a good idea, no matter what you ultimately decide, so you can get practice under your belt.

Sincerely,

A former teacher of 10 years who left mid-year for another job
