High Salary but Really Bad Working Conditions: To Quit or Not to Quit

Okay, here's the situation:

  • You got loans for an expensive house, you have mountain-high credit card debts and some other loans to pay plus of course, daily expenses including a few luxuries like going out on dates or purchasing new clothes. 
  • You got all of these financial woes when suddenly, you got offered a really high-paying job that you don't really like but you know you can tolerate. 
  • You decided to accept the job because it would really help your finances and it did! You go to work then receive a lot of pay. You can easily pay for you loans and mortgage (which at your rate will be finished in 10 years) and you can also afford the luxuries that you usually have.
  • However, the work load is really causing you some stress + lots of over time work including weekends which means much less time for you family or friends + your boss is like a warden from hell and screams at you and makes you feel like you've just been given the stupid-of-the-year award.
  • You thought of quitting but you're already in one of the best companies in the country and it will be really, really hard to get in other companies of its caliber that can offer you the same pay plus awesome benefits.
What will you do? Go.

i've decided to move to another company which give lower salary but hopefully better prospect in the future.
Hard decision, but you gotta take one if you want to have a better life.

Right, I've seen many people go the money way without regard to future career. Short-term financial relief cannot replace long-term career investment. Good luck!
