[quote=Anonymous]Enough to pay your specific bills is a factor. Job stability is also a factor. Retirement savings is also a factor. I personally think it's not a good reason to quit just to avoid it being a bit awkward at work (in your words, "I feel bad at my job… and I can’t take this feeling."). You're essentially firing yourself because you can't take the hit to your pride/ego. I had my firstborn in professional school. I had plenty of awkward moments and people questioning if a mom could even do the job, especially in those "grind" years. But I swallowed my pride and prioritized our financial health over my feelings. In other words, if quitting is in the best interest of your kid and family, go for it. But if it's just your identity as a high achiever? Get over yourself. [/quote]
