What’s the cost of leaving?
- Guaranteed salary?
- Possible bonus?
- Uncertainty?
What’s the cost of staying?
- Today’s opportunity?
- Your health?
- Life without regret?
Assuming today’s opportunity won’t be there tomorrow (or will get smaller), your health is more costly (and valuable) tomorrow, and, of course, regret of not acting only grows, the case to stay gets weaker every day.
Problem is, the scale only shifts a tiny bit every day.
So when you happen to notice a big jump in the scale’s imbalance, know it’s going to be a tough day. But be grateful that, compared to yesterday, the imbalance has become clear.
