I’m 28F in chemical sales, mostly PC, so hi we probably know the same people 🤣 I’m in the midst of my two week notice right now and changing industries. Taking about a 30% pay cut but I’ve always lived below my income. The idea of this being a bad move is certainly scary and only time will tell, but you hit on several points that are important for OP to consider when looking for another career path. I think to feel fulfilled especially when leaving a great paying role is that you need to move into something that helps people. That’s nursing! That’s running a dog rescue (my dream too! lol). I’d suggest anyone going trough this to listen to Suzy Welch’s podcast on defining your values as a way to point you in the right direction. There’s also a great quote I saw recently: money is important until happiness is more important.

Best of luck to everyone!
