[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left a job making $120k with flexible hours and work from home 1-2 times per week. It also had a $35k signing bonus and $75k stock vesting over 4 years. It was the dumbest thing I ever did. I had 10 years of experience in personnel security and law enforcement and was part of a corporate security and auditing team. [/quote]

Why'd you leave?[/quote]

I left because I felt I was getting pigeonholed into a specialty I didn't particularly enjoy. I liked the company, and even some of the people I worked with, but after a massive re-org things changed and our job duties started to be massively sucky. I made an impulsive decision, and for only $20k more per year, I have a longer commute, zero work from home, little flexibility, no paid leave besides federal holidays, and I don't even like the working environment. I just got an offer for a job that is $125 with flexible hours (but no work from home), a 10 minute commute, a good working environment, and plenty of days off.

I wish I didn't leave the original job though. It had a 20 week maternity leave an 8 weeks post-baby to ramp back into fill time by working part time hours. I want another baby can can't get past the idea of only having 12 weeks-with only 6 of them paid, and that isn't even 100% pay. [/quote]
