Its something I have fought with myself. I really like the new industry I am in, and got lucky it was the same type of roll, so I could move back.
I just struggle with the culture of O&G. The highs and lows and TBH the seemingly laggard culture when it comes to technology, women in leadership, work/life balance, and other social issues.
I thought my last company was pretty good on this in O&G and then moved out and realized they weren't as great outside the sector. Seemed a bit old boys club comparatively.
Funny how much I realized what I truly value over just money after I left. It was 5 years ago and maybe things have evolved?

I left about ten years ago and haven’t looked back. Didn’t even take the placement services offered when I got the axe. The work was interesting, the field was great, but completely agree with you about the ####e culture. No thanks.
