I'm a day late and a dollar short, as usual, but I came to say I agree with the others in saying go for it because what do you have to lose and I see you have already agreed with that.

I know we work in different circles, but let me just say, I GET IT. I'm in the job market right now, though absolutely no fault on my part and it SUX. I totally get the rejection thing and I totally get not wanting to move on from something you enjoy. I do not want to leave where I am, but my sad reality is that, likely, in 2 months or less, the position I have won't even exist anymore. So I'm looking and I'm looking for things that are outside of my comfort zone. Rejection is real and scary, but I'd rather receive a rejection or 2 now, while I still have several months to look. I know our situations are different, but I still feel all that you are saying. I wish you luck and peace. You are good at what you do so hopefully those making the decisions will see that and you can embark on a new path that gives you a little breathing room financially.
