Beautifully written. It’s easy and in vogue to trash a steady 9-5 career these days. I love that you’ve paused to reflect on and share the positives, Becky!
Yes! It's important to think about context and what you need right now. The bit on mental security is underrated and also gives space to work on ambitious projects in life.
Common advice is if you want to start a business you should work in a startup. Which i get (network, learning what small scale feels like) but not enough people say have a stable life to build off for more risky moves (whether work or life)
As someone who’s still in corporate, it helps a lot to read this perspective. Thank you Becky. Hope the ankle is all better for full return to the gym!
Corporate provides a lot of security, and I also found it helpful to have before I launched myself out of it.
It was the one period I could just chill out and enjoy life tbh 😂
I still look back fondly and whatever why I ever thought “too comfortable” was a thing
I still miss the health insurance 😂
Oh sweet corporate health insurance
really like million dollar weekend - failed at everything so far lol
corporate health insurance was something else that's for sure, i feel ya there
i saw the title of this post and didn't want to read it, ptsd much? 😂
Hahahahhahahaha i am still trying to accept that my health insurance wouldn't be as great as it once was

Thank you! It was honestly super chill and the first time in my life I was able to relax

The environment matters!

Thanks Matt! Honestly they were solid years and I didn't regret doing corporate :)
