Don’t stay in something just because you already gave it two years. Year three is optional.

Time already spent cannot be recovered by spending more, though the mind insists otherwise, because leaving feels like admitting the earlier years were wasted. They were not. They were how you found out. The only real question is whether the next year is worth its own cost, set apart from the past.

Ask whether you would join this today, knowing what you know, if you were starting from zero. If the answer is no, the two years are not an argument for staying. They are just two years you learned something in.
