Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

Absolutely start networking and looking elsewhere. This may take some perseverance but will be worth it in the end. I was in a similar situation and did not realize the negative impact it was having on my health. Good luck!

You can absolutely find that and should. Tons of smaller tech companies in growth mode right now and hiring to support it.

I would not stay in something like this, it sounds deeply unhealthy and not fulfilling. Have you looked around for other opps? It can be exhausting to start the job hunt in earnest but you'll feel better when you see other offers come in

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
