Switching careers is hard.
Looking for a new job is hard.
Being rejected time and time again is hard.
Pivoting into what feels like an entirely different world is hard.

But you know what else is hard?
Hating your job
Feeling as though you are violating your own moral code on a daily basis
Having physical health issues as a result of work-related stress
Not having energy to do things you enjoy outside of work because you have nothing left to give after work

Choose your hard.
