Approaching age 50, there are a lot more "I should have walked away sooners" than "I should have stuck with thats" in the rear view mirror.

But I can't say it's generally good advice to walk away frequently because I'm not sure what the outcome of so much walking away would have been.

That's very true. From my mid 50s perspective there's been a couple of big, "I really should have stuck with thats", but mainly "life's too short to put up with that garbage". Which of course makes it really hard to generalise into advice.

I'm roughly half your age, and this has already been my experience. If you want to quit something, you shouldn't put it off.
