What happened
Every year I told myself I would leave after the next bonus. The bonus always came, and so did another year. I left at 34 and got a better job in five weeks.
Time lost
6 years
Emotional cost
Numbing
What I learned
If you can be replaced in two weeks, you can leave in two weeks. The cost of staying is invisible until you add up the years.
