Everytime I want to complain about this field/ my job, I try changing my perspective. What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.

How do you handle it feeling burnt out or just the stresses of day to day life?

I didn’t want to wind up in this industry. I never begged or dreamed. I did settle, though; that part is accurate. And if I’ve grown, I’ve long since outgrown this job. When I feel burnt out, I look at the stack of bills on my desk and feel a cold relief that some of them will be paid this month.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked!
