Good for you OP! I hope you can find something fulfills you soon. I've had days like that always way too worried about how long the next job search would take. |

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I got mine within a fortnight. And I was still on 2 months paid gardening leave.
I genuinely wish you all the luck in the world x |

"I've got it far too good to ever be able to resign, even though I want to some days.
It's a nice problem to have I guess but I am pretty trapped."
I have been where you are. It is a very “nice” problem to have until you realise that you actually are trapped then it is horrible because you literally can’t get out of it.
I had to dramatically change my lifestyle to get out - that has worked out well but it was not pleasant at the time.

"Good for you, OP! Must feel great.
For for the first time I've been having similar thoughts seriously recently. No real catalyst other than "if not now, when..."."
If it doesn't make you happy, don't do it.Do what makes you happy was my thought process |

Yeah, exactly. I actually like my job, but I suspect I would like not doing my job even more! |

I liked the tasks mostly just the constant micro management did it for me. I could sense that only getting worse. |

I’ve resigned 3 jobs in the last four years. First one I had been there 15 years, far too long and two supermarket jobs that I was at six months in each one. Work for myself now and have vowed never going to work for a company again. There is always one a hole in middle management that push my buttons. |

I was in that situation about 15 years ago, most senior position, huge salary, bonus, final salary pension, Bupa Gold, eventually got bored and resigned, best thing I ever a did. Took a took a huge pay cut working for for a start-up , created opportunities I never thought were possible. |

"I really want to pursue my dream job just not sure how to go about it at the moment I've been an engineer for 10 years but I desire to be a psychologist "
Could you do an OU degree in Psychology to get you started on that path? I’m 5 years into a 6 year degree course with them.

Good for you OP. I did this last year after years of prevarication. Best decision I ever made. There is nothing worse than hating your job, dreading each morning and spending your days click watching and permanently wishing you were somewhere else. Hope the new opportunity works out. |

Do you really wanna be a psychologist? It’s quite a limited field considering all the kinds of treatments out there, how long it takes and how much additional work experience you’ll need, even to get the assistant clinical psychologist role and do the PhD.
One of my kids really wanted it I’m 5-6 years in decided there are much better ways to help people, and much more accessible and cheaper ways to get qualified than becoming a clinical psychologist.
There are NHS accredited one year programs in all kinds of areas, that are Masters level and allow you to practice, for a fraction of the price.
Best advice is to start working in that field as a volunteer, for Mind or other similar charity |
