I quit my job almost a year ago, spent most of the time on low-stress skill development and relaxation, and will shortly be starting a much-better-paying, much-lower-stress job.

Cool! Purely out of curiosity, what are the old and new jobs?

Old job: Systems Engineer for a political group.

New job: Systems Engineer for Amazon Web Services.

Not that much lower stress. But instead of having sole responsibility for a big production environment, I'll be working on a team on a test environment. I get to leave DC, which I've wanted to do for a while, and live down the hall from some of my best friends in the world in Seattle, at a significantly reduced cost-of-living.
