If I learned anything from all my past mistakes in life, it's this.

Same.
I left a really good job for a year, to go work for a company CEO'd by a buddy of mine. I had a bad, sinking feeling in my gut from the very beginning when In interviewed with my new boss (not my buddy). Sure enough, I fucking hated working for him, and quit after a year.
When I was leaving my old job, I remember rationalizing it to myself that I would regret not doing it if I didn't try. I have mixed feelings about that job -- not necessarily regret for taking it, but definitely some regrets for how things went down at the end.
With that being said, if I had turned down that job, I don't know if I would regret it now or not. Who's to say?
Anyway, I got my old job back, and lasted there for several more years. It's still the best place I ever worked.
