I mean it was a leap in some senses, but in others it wasnt. It wasnt like I was moving to a different country or taking a lower paying job.

There was one point where I heavily considered a sales position here (which woulda been commission based and low paying). I wanted to do it, but after talking to several people including my wife it wasnt the right move. So I bided my time and this role came up.


I will say that when you get to the point where you arent happy with your job anymore and waking up Mondays to go is actually depressing, even the sales job in my mind didnt seem as scary as it should have.

Im a risk taker though. I wanna live my life. I like being here but also would love the chance at living abroad for a year or two. Thinking of ways to make those plans happen if theyre possible without risking too much.
