I've had two jobs in IT, 13 years and 10 years. The last job was a good one. I left it because I didn't want to do the type of work I was doing anymore. I have a family and had 6 months salary saved in the bank. 1 1/2 years on and despite covid things are going well.

Work is never finished in IT :-) My advice is be advenurous with eyes wide open. There's a lot of fantasy thinking in our geek corner of the world that says everyone is awesome and can be a huge financial success. That doesn't sit right with me. What I know for a fact is that you can make a good living if you have invested your work life in IT.

And to specifcally answer your question...leave your job being grateful for the opportunity and resources the job gave you. Everyone will be happy then.
