If you want out of finance, get out of finance.

I was making a little less than half of what you're currently making at a job that I hated, but I stayed there for 8 years because I was terrified of the financial impact of going somewhere else. The money was very good for where I was living, and there was nothing comparable in the region.

Staying there wasn't worth it. Not only did it affect my behavior -- which, in turn, affected my personal relationships -- but I stagnated professionally.

Life's too short. Believe in yourself. Find another job to jump to, and go.
