I started a permanent job 5 months ago and I am thinking of leaving.
I have always been a contractor or unemployed in the past and I find it hard. Hard because there is no end and also because I got used to my unemployed mindset (unemployment between contracts) where I had long holidays…

I understand your problem, but unemployment is worse. Stick it out.
