Sadly yes. Now I can’t ever see myself off of the amphetamines. Granted, they’re prescribed. But it does bum me out how I am not “me” without them.

I turned down offers from a number of places over a year ago and now they're thriving. No one is inviting me in this time around. Airbnb: $450k at the time -> $1.2M now, Snap: $450k -> $780k now, Doordash $380k -> $700k now. I'm still at $500k TC where I'm at. Don't always play safe guys.

I used to do staffing. Involved cold calling And spamming clients and emails. People treated recruiters as middlemen, a noise and felt disrespectful.

But it’s not easy profession - to specialize and win in a niche.

I know it could be automated and give an experience to candidates and clients by making it ondemand, instant and specialization. I saw a Vision to turn this recruiting business into ondemand staffing companies like Airbnb - just publish talent and do the transaction.

Really trying not to spiral, and my practice group leader has been openly hostile to and dismissive of me lately.

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
