6 paragraphs of vent to ask if anyone else wants out is rich

Do you even read bro?

"Anyone else sick of the grind in this field? Sick of the corporate drama? Anyone try to bail out and come back? How do career switchers shake the golden handcuffs?"

Yeah, bro.

I feel you man, Im in the same spot. Although I been in finance for 10 years now, im only 33. I have a few licenses and a designation. I just hate the corporate BS and sitting at a desk all day on the phone. Its driving me nuts. id rather be outside doing construction or something. I just hate the idea of basically starting over and letting my licenses and stuff go to waste. But something has to change. Id love to own a bar or restaurant or something lol

 

Just a salty loser who's jealous of the people ahead of him in the org chart. Maybe learn to win and you won't be such a bitter loser.
