I have quit a few times, have been and been close to burn out so please learn from my experience and don’t let it go too long. I find it is empowering to generate options and move yourself forward so suggest you weigh up your energy and wellbeing. If they are starting to feel unrecoverable start the process please.

I quit once but only once I had a new job in hand. I quit because I saw slow progression in the company that would hamper my career progression.

Easy, if it’s making you unhappy, go do something different.

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
