i was scrolling through LinkedIn, feeling a little too comfortable at my job. then i saw it. my position posted, and the company was 'looking for fresh talent.' fresh talent. it hit me harder than the realization that my coffee was cold. did they even think about how this impacts my life? how many nights i stayed late, convincing myself it mattered? so now, do i stay and play the part, or should i...
