Leaving a job can often be an extremely tricky and daunting task. Let us take my most recent departure, for example. I worked for the NHS but I knew I was sinking into a rut. I had made some good friends, was earning a steady wage but the chances for career progression were limited outside of taking on even more student debt. I had to make a decision: force myself out of the role by handing in my notice, or end up working into my thirties and wondering where the time went.
So I did it. I handed in my notice to initiate my 10 week notice period and picked up some freelance work during that time while I waited for a couple of things to kick into action. Then it’s London, Bloody Marys and chinos for me. It was a tough decision, but it should all be worth it in the end.
