I'm 39 going on 40. Was hired into my dream job this year that set me up for life.

I also just turned in my notice last week. 12+ hrs are the norm, I have to "tattle" on other VP's who want to promote their own agenda.. burned out and not present with my family.

Will happily take a pay cut and work a "9-5" with late nights at my choice.

How can you know the job set you up for life less than 12 months after being hired?

This is my fear. Hard to know how the “dream job” will pan out. Certainly simpler and somewhat safer to stick with known arrangement (so long as it is still available)

Temping to see what else is out there tho. Hard to pull the trigger without a boomerang option
