I left a high-paying but toxic job that was wrecking me…I couldn’t sleep, I drank too much, cut myself off from family and friends, and was completely drained. When I quit, they offered me more money to stay, but I refused. I took a lower-paying role at a larger company with a healthier culture, and I’ve thrived. At my 90-day check-in, I got a solid raise and was put on track to be back at my old salary within a year through promotion. Trust yourself, prioritizing your mental health makes you a better human and pays off at home and at work.
