However, after a few months, my excitement turned to frustration when I realized my job wasn't going anywhere. When they were around, their conversations were generally irrelevant to my role, and I certainly couldn't afford the expensive bars they frequented. As this was only revealed in the last weeks of my job, it imperiled my plan to leave and feel normal again. I now know that people leave jobs and move around all the time for reasons similar to mine. It should never feel personal to leave a job, nor should anyone have to spend so much time in an environment where they feel unhappy.
