I believe there is more to this. The grass is definitely greener out there. I’ve been here 7 years now and I have not found what I want. I yearn for more. I can feel it, this is not it.
I have two options. Ride with this, have a simple and relaxing life. I can choose not to care and life still goes on. But I feel rotten. I feel like I’ve not accomplished. This is not what I expect it to be. I hate it. I hate giving in.
I can choose to go for what I dreamt of, what I am good at. I believe I can do it. I can achieve it. I just need to take that step. Go for it … and just do it.
I have made plans. Strategised my move. I still need to gather more knowledge and experience and then….. execute.
I can do it and I will do it.

that is exactly how I felt before I tendered in my resignation with a huge multinational company a month back after more than 10 years.. I cannot live in a culture where you do not get punished nor rewarded for it breeds mediocrity in me and I hate it. Taking the big step is such a bold move but once you realize it is time to move on, you just move on. No looking back. Once you have considered your options, have faith in your decision. Good Luck.
Exactly! Mediocracy is right and lower confidence and self esteem.
There is much more to achieve and I believe its out there. Its going to be scary.
So anonymous ... is the grass really greener? Are you happier?
well I am not exactly over the other side yet (I will let you know if indeed the grass is greener!) but I was out of the monotonous culture for while and had a taste of what it is like outside (one foot in, one foot out kinda thing) I realized that I can do more. I could do whatever was thrown my way. I always rise to the occasion no matter how daunting the task is..I have higher self-esteem now. I feel like I can do anything. I feel that ever since I quit I feel braver. I guess I have no choice to feel this way because once you are out there, you have to sink or swim. And this is when we always stop and think may be we do not want to take the risk in case we sink. We would rather stay safe and be bored out of skull rather than *gasp* fail. But I intend to swim all the way. Whether or not I succeed is another thing. Better to fail while trying rather than die not knowing what could have been. Whoa! When I say this I mean you have at least a 95% failsafe plan. I do not recommend you tak the plunge tomorow just because you think the grass is greener on the other side. I sat on my job offer 1 year before I acted on it.

Thank you for your thoughts. Being on the inside and never been out there, I do not know what to expect. I have so low confidence that I think I don't think i can cope with whatever would hit me out there. This is not me at all. Like you, I will always swim. Sinking is not an option.
I am planning my exit very carefully. M currently formulating my fail safe plan. Will even have a trial run.
Don't forget to let me know if the grass is indeed greener.
You can e-mail me at Linz2u2000@yahoo.com. Lets keep in touch!
yes, I will do that - let you know what it is like working in the real world. I have your email address and will contact you later. In the meantime I shall remain anonymous ;-)
hehe ok dokie. Lots of luck then! Hope it all goes well for you
