[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  Should I have left my job a year ago to go on a career break?  Was making $400k a year but was completely, totally burned out.

Had hoped to come back into the market over the summer. 
 Afraid I will never be able to get back to that professional level (either in terms of earnings and/or seniority) given the way economy is looking right now.  Coulda, woulda, shoulda...

Moving back to NYC may also not be on the cards again for a while, if ever.

I hope you're feeling better / recovered - and that you saved $$ from when you were working with such a decent income!!  This too shall pass.  [/quote]

Thank you - indeed I have a better handle on things compared to a year ago (and yes, saved significant chunk of change over prior 4-5 years).  Understood what went wrong, why it went wrong, what I needed to do to "fix" things, and now giving thought to what I do next.  To be honest, I don't want to make much of a change career-wise, but now will have much better boundaries between personal and work lives.  This crisis has helped to focus on what is truly most important in life and how lucky I am.

The observation to decouple personal and work lives is an important one.  Definitely feeling a need for this, after weeks and weeks of working at home where everything has become one gigantic, stressful blur.  [/quote]
