I've been changing my career since I began working! But specifically for the Great Resignation it was realigning values with treatment. Simply put I left a toxic environment after I put in great effort (7+ years) of trying to turn it back around. Did I land in my dream job? No. Will I be changing careers again in the future? Yes. Currently working on starting up a side gig to turn into a steady income maker.

I haven't changed yet, but my deciding factors is no longer any growth opportunities in my current role. A lot of my responsibility was automated, unable to be provided with my own metrics as work is group, so hard to determine my value and impact as individual contributor. And work environment isnt the best
