Look at it as an opportunity to leave this place for good with a safety net. Let's be realistic, how many other companies are as bad as Optum? I'm comfortable saying very few. So wherever you go from here should be an upgrade, even if it takes a while to find it.

Wondering about the future
I've been thinking about whether staying here long-term is even realistic anymore. Everywhere I look, people are just going through the motions until they find a way out. New people, old people, it doesn't really matter. The consensus seems to be that Schwab is in decline and nobody should be pinning their future on it. Maybe that's for the best.

Still carries weight for now
I am in my early thirties and have been here long enough to see how fast things shift. FIDO still opens doors when recruiters scan a resume, but that window feels smaller each year. I am focusing on learning what I can and staying realistic about how long the shine lasts.
