Thanks for your positive story. How were your finances before you got off the rat race? Were you quite comfortable for a risky situation or you just risked it and it worked out?
I was in an extremely good spot financially when I quit (years of runway) due to living well below my paycheck for years of working at FAANG.
I was terrified to do so, but the only alternative I could see at the time was killing myself if I had to continue as is (lots of mental illness prior to and greatly exacerbated by my time in tech).
It is the biggest leap of faith I have ever taken, and I do not have a big appetite for financial risk.
