I understand. Sometimes when I quit a high paying job, the first thing people would ask me "damn why would you quit this high paying job? Look at all the money you making" but they don't realize that it's not all about the money. Maybe I quit because of terrible management or colleagues or toxic work culture or simply I just need a break. Once you have the experience, you can always have another great paying job.

Realistically you quit because in the back of your mind you believe you can get another job that pays the same or more easily or fairly easily. If you felt you were at risk of giving up a job that you would never be able to make even half as much ever again, you would think long and hard. Good for you that you have a skill that you can be so airy fairy about giving up a high paying job, but understand most people don’t live that reality.

I felt that health-wise I will reap the consequences of working 12+ hours, even the weekends. I don't want to die early and not see my kids graduate college, have careers, and build a family. That is why ai an learning to take a job that is significantly lower but fullfils me and has better opportunity costs in the long run.

Now I understand that I should look into some technical courses on Coursera like SQL and Cybersecurity. Do you have any suggestions on how I should learn about technical processes?

Being a black man in tech in New York is... an interesting sociological adventure. I got my start working at smaller hedge funds in the Connecticut area (Stanford, Greenwich). They need you to wear multiple hats in those companies, and they are always seeking the latest and greatest solutions and technology. Be interesting thing that I discovered is that a lot of the founders have rich friends that are pursuing their own businesses. This gave me an opportunity to have more side gigs than I could handle. At this point in my career I'm working for a bigger company and I'm about to make the move from director to CTO.

For this type of job what would you say is the cert path to get that job? It also sounds like some Data Analysis mixed in but did you have people that reported to you?

No cert path just experience. I also did not have any direct reports

Look here man. I see that a lot of people are supportive of your decision to quit a job that pays 175k/anually. Are you insane? I smoke a pack a day praying I'll get a heart attack working a job that I hate with people I dispise for the past 3 years. And I earn less than 1/5th of what you were getting. I was only able to put a down payment on a tiny apartment 2 year's ago from the 1950's. And I'm old man, I've worked so many jobs that pay minumum wage. Dude...any/every man I know would kill to make this amount. For their kids. Do you realize that with 2-3 years you could have lived in a mansion in the Italian country side on the Mediterranean sea and not have to work for 30 years?

All due respect, you make absurd argument given the median cyber income is less than 75k. You walked away from 3 day on-site hybrid cyber job @ 175k. Make it make sense. Sounds selfish & delusional. For 175k you should be skipping to work. Life is insufferable and it is what you make it.
