The other end is anywhere but here, that will be a happier place regardless of the money. As for the plan, I am looking for a new job, I know I am damm good at what I do so its just a matter of finding the right company, while working on a startup. (ill need the job to float me, until I know I have a product worth jumping into the deep end with)

To be clear, I have a mortgage and family, small savings but not for unemployment. At the end of the day, I am the only person that can change my situation, so I did. Yes its scary but, If i believe in myself enough and have the courage I will make it work one way or the other.

Up until last week I was in this exact same position, Golden handcuffs, enough money to choke a small donkey with as a daily rate but I had lost all job satisfaction. Then they offered me more money, and a 4 year contract. But I bit the bullet and said no! So now I've only just over a month left, with nothing lined up but sometimes you need to just take a leap of calculated faith. I don't know if it is going to work out, but I do know ill be happier on the other end.
