<prompt> Human: Im 24 with a little over 1 year of professional work experience, working a job thats right up my alley, and was fortunate enough to land a job at a growing company and somehow managed to earn 250k last year. I know Im extremely fortunate to be in this situation, but I dont like the company I work for, the stress is building up 60 hour weeks, on call 247, rarely have 2 days to myself, and Id love to quit and do something more fulfilling.I work in data analysis and am very talented with numbers, so I dont expect to get paid poorly and I dont think Id be in trouble financially if I left this company, but I know that I have it great and I dont want to regret taking this opportunity to get a large chunk of retirement savings out of the way early.I know this is a problem Im extremely fortunate to have, but it is a problem that is rare enough that Im not sure how to approach it.What advice would you give yourself if you were in a similar position? EDIT: Thanks everyone for your input, I was a little scared of being harassed for complaining about 1 problems but you guys have all been great and Im glad to see others agree that changing things would be beneficial. Some of those closest to me dont tend to say anything except never leave haha. I really appreciate all of your input!  <response>: I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago.I was 23 and earning 110,000 Australian dollars a year. I was in a mining related field in a manual position.A quick question: is this your first job? Or your first proper full-time, long-term job? The transition from college to the workplace can have a massive impact that isnt felt straight away, and a lot of my classmates started dropping out after 9-18 months, as they didnt take breaks.My advice:1: Find out if you actually want to leave. If you can take a couple of weeks off, do that, and see if it recharges you. Long hours, long term, will grind anyone down.2: Look at your coworkers. How long have they been there? Do the long term people look tired, or old beyond their years? Imagine you didnt work together, and instead had to sit and talk to them as strangers. Would they have anything to talk about beyond work?I found the time off made my position worse. Everyone I worked with looked 20 years older than they were. The chemicals and processes we were using were slowly poisoning us. There was ever present danger from plant and equipment.We were trading our health, safety, sanity, and youth for money. The thing was, we didnt enjoy it, and most of the guys would only have the chance to spend after they had been injured or forced out with depression and stress disorders.3: Can you change your working conditions? If you need to do a 60 hour week to handle your workload, could that be split between 2 people?4: If you decide to leave, make a plan. You want to leave on your terms, because you decide to. A well communicated decision to leave, with a good reference to follow, is a million times better than just not turning up one day because you cant handle the stress.You want to have quite a few months salary saved up. Research other fields you can move into, get a feel for the salary and requirements.5: If you leave, wait for the dust to settle a bit then look at what happened. Was it the hours; the being on call; the people; the culture; the stress; or the commute; that made it bad? If you can learn what you dont like in a job you can get a better one in the future.Im currently earning around 75,000 now, still fairly long hours but I have good time off, and when I leave at the end of the day thats it.Sometimes I regret not sticking at it and having the money in my account, or invested. Then I look at the pictures I took just before I left. Eyes like a panda. Id put on weight. Wearing protective clothing in 55 C 130F. I realise it wasnt worth it.
