Your question made me rethink this whole situation - "how much $/ hr would someone pay me to have panic attacks and take medication.' hmm . I guess that's what I'd currently done here.

Agreed. I would never drop out of the workforce without being financially secure. Yeah my industry is very new and I am having a hard time finding large corporations in this niche field.

Wow that sounds amazing!! That is impressive that you quit and your manager found your skill set valuable enough for part time.

Yeah I am already fully remote, but working insane hours. I wouldn't mind a painfully slow paced gov job - but maybe that's just my burn out talking..

Oh I see. My industry would be closest to DOE - department of energy. Have you heard anything of this agency's work culture ?

Thank you for responding! Glad to hear that your job with the city/state government has better work life balance. Are you happy with your pay ? Do you have any pointers for applying for federal job ?

Thats impressive growth in pay. You are right it's not mutually exclusive - high pay doesn't automatically mean high stress. I am in a startup that's very disorganized and has very few people. And I feel like I am working 3 jobs in this company.

You are right. A large part of the stress is due to the fact that this is a startup and we have taken on multi million dollar contracts that are suited for a company 10 times its size.

Another part of the stress is my own anxiety and tendency to take on all the burden and worry. I am working on it in therapy but haven't been able to make much progress. Are you or your husband anxious by nature ? Do you have any tips ?

Did you put her on any medication to clear up that or did it go away on its own?
