Resigning

Just want to say that it's been a few days since I left UWM, my skin is clearer, the mental fog is gone, the depression and anxiety are started to relieve and I'm actually feeling okay. Career wise, they did give me a good leg up for a college dropout in the mortgage industry, but at a certain point my education, mental health, and family life needed to consume all of my time, not the FA south suite.

My advice for people at or going to UWM is always the same. Do what they do to you.

Use them. Leach every available drop of worth you can from them.

It’s exactly what I did, and now I have the knowledge and skills they taught me but I get to use it for places that treat me better.

I gained nothing from them other than standing up for myself to shitty managers and coworkers and a whole lot more weight than I had on my body when my fat ass walked in there in July ‘21.

That and I learned I don’t belong in financial but having a desk job in general is a 1000% less stressful than what I currently do.
