Thanks so much for your post Ben! I wanted to quote the whole thing in my reply but it seemed excessive to do so.
I quoted this section because I strongly agree about going out on a high/responsible note. To be honest I am dreading going back to work on Monday Jan 5. But it will only be 4 more weeks. I will give my manager and my team whatever I can during that timeframe. Then I can walk away feeling honorable and not burning any bridges.
I also very much agree about the importance of time. I'm getting close to age 52 and if I want to do all these projects and interests that I have in mind I will eventually run out of energy or health to do them!
I wish you all the best in navigating your own burnout and finding your exit at the appropriate intersection between financial stability and mental health.
