The key part of his suggestion was “remote”. As someone else mentioned, you’re net positive comparing a high salary, living in London, with a lower paying job, living elsewhere. If you live somewhere else, you could do with less income in a more fulfilling job.
But you need to quit. You’re on a collision course with a burn out. Avoid at all costs. This will mentally scar you for the rest of your career. It’s no joke.
The important part is to get control back over your life. Your happiness.
My advice would be to jot down all your options and how they relate to each other and then go over them _with_ your partner. Maybe have them read your Ask HN post and everyone’s reply if you haven’t shared your doubts / feelings yet. If your partner wants you to be happy, and you want to be happy together, this is a problem the both of you need to solve.
