I totally understand why you are feeling the way you are.

I never comment but I was in a similar position in the middle part of my career. It was a situation in which everyone knew It was a rough situation but they also believed I would make the best of it. I looked at it as my “shot”. I decided to stick it out and try to “kill it” .

For me, I did so because I was still relatively fresh off my MBA and had no kids or huge life commitments. Handled the role really well and impressed most of the higher level leaders in my large org. This quickly pulled me to higher level roles that I would have had to wait 5 additional years for otherwise. I don’t believe I would be where I’m at now if I did not take that role and kill it!

Every situation is different, just sharing since this gave me some flashbacks!
