OperationsCrossing.com works. I signed up a few weeks ago and my resume has already been viewed three times. Not only that, but also one employer called me and offered me a job. I was in total shock. I actually received several calls from prospective employers. The nice thing is that they knew what salary range I was looking for, so I knew when they called, it would be within my asking price. This was convenient and time saving because it eliminated wasted interviews for jobs I was overqualified for, etc.

@mjukr: One of my favorite quotes – although I could say that about almost any quote from Emerson!

Excellent insight, Steve. I am also at the point where I am tired of the corporate life. I have a good job and I do well at it, but I have reached the point that I would rather be off on my own. Though I know that now is the best time to make the “jump” I can't do it just yet. The good news is that I am actively working toward (not just saying I am working toward it). But based on my calculations, I am still a few months off. It's a good goal though.

Thanks for sharing this.

I love this post. I think there are a lot of what-ifs and regrets in our lives. But ultimately, we have to ask ourselves, are we happy now? It might have been the best journey, but it got us somewhere nice (I hope).

You have so inspired a post.

Interesting post! … I am in a Ph.D. program in math (part time) while I work in finance. I shifted back and forth between the prospects for an MBA because it was esteemed more than my Ph.D. progress in the eyes of management. Just recently, I have come to the conclusion that I need to stick the Ph.D. due to not wanting to turn out like my colleagues (or management for that matter). Thanks for the reinforcement! … The corporate world is not for me and I am not far away from getting out !!!!! BTW: Here is an interesting idea for those of us that didn't find “happiness” at work from the get go … We work through college to get into a job, only to work through life to get out of one. !!! Have a Brilliant Season Everyone!!!

Boston is colder than Siberia! You made my weekend, Steve!

Seriously, your best post. And there have been some really good ones.

@Hunter: I certainly wouldn't say it STAYED negative after the first week. I had my good times and bad times. I just knew the first week that it wasn't something that was going to keep me going. I had moments – I loved being sent to Russia for work, I loved being sent to Indonesia, I enjoyed meeting a lot of the people I worked with – but the WORK was never interesting to me.
