I go over this all the time. Notice comments saying use free time to do something good but cushy corporate jobs are so draining any free time in the week is used to recover and the weekend is too short and the work looms in the back of the mind.
I was checking up on public sector jobs that could pay comparably recently, just to get an idea of what else is out there, and there's a lot actually. I reccomend checking those postings or just random job boards filtered for comparable salary. I half thought about being a plumber just because I knew some plumbing stuff(but didn't want to deal with sexism). But there are options.
I also wanted to go to teaching by with the pandemics and shootings, I changed my mind.
Is it cushy or is it draining?
Cushy as in it pays me a lot to not really do anything serious. Draining because corporate work has extra BS like dealing with a variety of personalities and poor organization structure.
