Would you.....

BluenoserChick

Quit a six figure job because it provided no motivation, no sense of achievement, no intellectual stimulation and has a CEO that makes you question your sanity on a daily basis?

Or would you just say, suck it up sister, deal with it and stop acting like an entitled arsehole.

stackhsc

suck it up until you the CEO makes a wrong move and then step in to that position. money isn't everything, but 6 figures in ns is pretty damn good

sissiluv

Suck it way the hell up because that's more money than I've gotten at any one job.

iulia_maddie

Suck it up while looking for another 6 figure job.
If you can't find something else that pays that good.. Would you still live comfortably with less money, and be happier? You might want to consider that too.

You can always look for another job while ur workin ther and when u get hired someplace else givm ur notice.

LMT2012

How old am i in this scenario? What are my financial responsibilities? Too many variables to weigh in. Having said that, 6 figures can buy a lot of fun stuff after hours.

oregonzoo

I suck it up now for freaking peanuts.


So yeah... That said. I have a family I have to feed and don't really have the opportunity to ask such a question.

So do what is right for you and you alone.

MrsSardone

I've read somewhere that studies show that people that make 6 or 7 figures are not substantially happier than people that make 5. The cutoff in 2010 was 50,000

I haven't yet, so no.

I would get a hobby that fulfills where the job cannot...

stepherzzzzz

Suck it up, for sure. I've only made about $50,000 in the five years and eight months I've been at my job.

This is the correct answer. I say that I work 8 hours a day to enjoy the other 16! Money isn't everything, but makes that other 16 a lot of un!

Conorfitz92

Suck it up for a few years, acquire wealth, invest, retire at 25.



One can dream!

Going4Lean

suck it up sister, deal with it.

some of us deal with it for less money

You may want to rethink your career...

labeachgirl

Definitely stay on the job, but start planning and building for the next phase. The first step is to start saving that high salary so that you can financially support being without it. And while you're saving, start thinking about what you'd rather be doing and start planning how to get there.

It's not a career, it's a job to pay the bills and save up for school so I can start a career.

Oh apologies, well, good luck!

If I was financially stable enough to be without a job between the time I quit and found another one I would probably quit. I would much rather had a job I loved and earn less money than to earn alot of money but be mad and unhappy. Money is wonderful but not the most important thing to me. As long as I can support myself/family then I have enough. When work makes you unhappy we bring that home (even when we try not to). But if I don't have enough in savings then I'd have to suck it up until I can build my bank account up.

RobfromLakewood

I wouldn't leave for lack of fulfillment, too much like running away. But if you think you find a job that challenges, leaves you feeling useful, brings you joy, well then leave ASAP, because then you have something to run to. My wife and I are teachers, both love our jobs, make over 100,000, but under 200,000. AND we get summers off! Less money can be made with life still enjoyed, but not enjoying 1/3 of your day regularly is too much of your life not to love.

AmberB519

Suck it up and find a fulfilling way to spend your free time!

Debbe2

I'd suck it up unless i had something better to go to.

VelociMama

It depends on your financial situation and goals in life. I wouldn't make any rash decisions though. If you do plan on making a career change, make it thoughtfully and carefully, and have a significant stockpile of cash under your belt should things go awry.

whierd

I would begin looking for another job. Statistics show that people who have made 6 figures in their life will almost always make 6 figures again. This is because they still possess the qualities that got them to that level in the first place, which include drive, worth ethic, and competence.

triciab79

Get another job first. Employed people are much more attractive to employers

Bucky83

I am in that position, so I know how you feel.

One of the reasons I've stayed (aka 'sucked it up' so to speak), is purely on a financial level. If I left, I would have no money to make repayments on my mortgage. I've had family be guarantors on the property, so it would put them under if I just up and left my job.

Trying to increase my social life by saying yes to opportunities, taking up a new hobby, hitting the gym more for me time (which I have a lot of anyway) has helped me deal with work in a more positive way.

We all have our work politics, it's how we manage these and our stresses that will impact on our interest in our job.

I love going on holidays, so it's worth sticking around so that I can take holidays overseas without difficulty.

Jennifer1319

Suck it up and slide your big girl panties on. At least until you find another job that tops this one off.

JessikaBlayne

suck it up

tcunbeliever

Is this job giving you any skills that will be valuable when hunting for another job? A certain amount of "coasting" in life is ok, but for me if I'm not learning I'm becoming less marketable and therefore more disposable...I work in a technical field, maybe it's a different scenario. Either way, life is too short to be miserable, if you hate your job find another, those hours at work add up to a significant portion of your life.

is this a joke? What kind of job are we talking about here? Are you utterly miserable on a daily basis? This is gonna sound bad, but I dont care about intellectual stimulation, Id be absolutely tickled for that kind of money. Basically if it were me I would suck it up.

Hirgy03

Many jobs are unfulfillling and will drive you insane on a daily basis,.....and for much less money than that. So start actively looking for something else that will financially support your lifestyle and other needs. In the meantime, remember that if it was all fun and games, they wouldn't call it "work". I love my career currently, but cannot stand the company I work for and the people in charge of it. I'm actively looking for another job, and holding out until I find one that pays the salary i am hoping for (which is a minimum of another 10-20K/year. I've already been here about 6 months longer than I was originallly planning on, but I'm getting close to being where I want to be, so I just keep holding on and doing my thing.

Happiness is, for most of us, found outside of the workplace, not in it. So, the money is a big deal and should be appreciated as such....right up until its taking its toll on you outside of work. THEN its time to seriously start looking to get the heck out of there.
