I am intrigued by what you said about working at a non-profit - that it was less stressful, you seem to be saying. I have found that as well. I love my current job at a small non-profit - autonomy, lots of hats to wear, the right balance of structure and freedom for me. It doesn't have the best pay, but I have had to accept that I do thrive here from a mental wellness perspective. I have considered gradually moving toward something with more demand once I get highly competent at this position and in this field. But hearing you mention your experience makes me think that my move might best be made to another non-profit. If you read this and wish to talk about stress on the job, we could start a new discussion thread perhaps. Thanks.
