I'm sorry you're hurting. I've definitely been there. What works for me is just looking for a new job. Spending an hour or so each day dedicated to sending out applications. Eventually my burnout passes and I feel better, but worst-case scenario, you've put some feelers out there.

Can’t seem to get started looking for a new job. The prospect of job hunting in this market exhausts me

Try this! Set a calendar event for an hour each day where you just shut off all devices or airplane mode. Journal, meditate and just enjoy being in the quiet with your thoughts. Reflection is a great way to put our minds at ease.
And it even works if you do it daily, including weekends! Hope that helps and stay positive!

That does help. I will try this. Thank you

I’m sorry to see you’re going through that. I like to set aside time to listen to an audiobook in a genre that won’t require me to think hard (ex: high fantasy or romcoms). This allows my brain to relax and just float off to another world. I sometimes do this in the morning but I usually do this in the evenings

Really sorry for the condition you're in I just find ways to express the pent up hate for the job. In other words, look for other ones lol

With how tough the job market is and how little time my current job leaves me, it seems impossible to get out of here

It’s sadly way too common for PMMs to be burned out. Companies need to have realistic expectations of PMMs as we can’t fix everything at the same time.

See what the root of the problem is. If it’s your manager or just the way the company you’re at operates, then do consider leaving. Otherwise, learn to disassociate yourself from work and how well you think you’re doing it.

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
