Burned out & financially independent-ish… stay, cut hours, or quit?
32 and burned out in my low six-figure remote job. I may have pigeonholed myself - I’ve been with the same company for 10 years.
$1.05M NW mostly in index funds, $50K cash, $27K/yr expenses. Currently in a relationship (but it isn’t going well), and eventually I am hoping to have a couple kids. FI number is in flux since my expenses are low but won’t be forever.
I want to quit next month. I want to have some real time to reset and see the world, but I’m worried I won’t be able to find anything (even at an entry level) when I try to re-enter the job market.
Is this a realistic concern? What would you do - leave and figure it out? Stay a couple more years? Go part time?
