Staying this long would cost you too much. It's a fantasy dressed up as a plan.
Leaving this fast would set you up to fail. It feels like relief, but it isn't ready.
Scary, but you can make it work. When you give notice, and when you're fully out.
In 2022 I walked away from a toxic job with nothing lined up. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It also wasn't a plan.
Most of the engineering leaders I work with can't leave that way. They've got a mortgage, kids, a team that depends on them. So they do the other thing. They wait. And the waiting quietly becomes the plan.
This worksheet is how you stop waiting without blowing up your life. Name the edges. Find the date in between. Then build toward it.
