The spreadsheet isn't helping. Sunday dread is real. This isn't a pros-and-cons problem. It's an identity decision — which version of yourself can you live with becoming?
A specific anxiety on Sunday nights about existing in that space. Not nerves about a project — dread about being there at all.
You've outgrown the role
The work feels small. The people feel stuck. You're staying because leaving is scarier than boring.
Body knows first
Sleep problems. Tension. Dread that appears on Sunday and lifts on Friday. Your nervous system decided before your intellect will agree.
Rehearsing the resignation
You've written it in your head a hundred times. Mentally packing your desk. Imagining the email. You've told the story of leaving to yourself over and over.
Why you're stuck
This isn't a rational problem. You're choosing between two versions of yourself, not comparing two options on a spreadsheet. The more data you collect, the more stuck you become — because rational analysis doesn't resolve identity questions.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
— Carl Jung

Common Questions
How do you know when it's time to quit?
The question isn't whether your job is bad. It's whether staying is costing you something you can't get back: time, health, identity. Four signs you're ready: Sunday dread about existing in that space. You've outgrown the role. Your body has decided before your mind will admit it. You keep rehearsing your resignation letter. If any of these show up, you're past the thinking phase. Career decisions are identity decisions, not rational ones.
