Another hotel room, another late-night call with the team. I used to thrive on this chaos, but now it just feels empty. Part of me thinks I'm weak for wanting to exit, but I think it's time. Is it common to feel like a quitter before leaving?

I agree. On my previous engagements, I was able to work weekends and late nights and it didn’t feel like work because I had great teammates and I was learning a lot. Now I’m on an engagement with teammates who… I don’t even know how to describe.

In a similar place, dreading being away for home for the entirety of next week. Have a Monday early morning meeting and have to travel Sunday night. Want to quit. The market is brutal.

It was great when I was young. Now I dread the international travel, having young kids at home.

The only upside is lifetime SE100k and Titanium statuses for personal trips.

At peak I’d hit 300k+ miles annually.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
