Happy (yes/no): No. I'm leaving. Gonna miss fantastic colleagues, and learning from superb captains and trainers. Not gonna miss poor cheap hotels. No possible career progression without unpopular base move, for indefinite period.
Great folks to work with, but aggressive bean counters to work for now. Pity.

Interesting thread.
