Ed Stott & The Big Life Questions Should I Quit My Job?
Thinking about quitting, but not sure if you’ll regret it? This episode will help you work out whether it’s time to leave, or if there’s still something worth holding onto.
We’ve all been there: lying awake at night, weighing the costs of staying against the risks of walking away. Do you push through and hope it gets better, or cut your losses before you waste more time?
In this episode, I’ve brought together Ash Ambirge, Julia Keller, Simone Stolzoff and Monique Ross to help you figure it out.
We’ll explore the hidden traps that keep us stuck, the real benefits of quitting, and the surprising strategies that can make staying a lot better than it feels right now. Plus at the end, I’ll give you five questions that can bring your answer into focus, fast.
