Hi,

I am going through psychological stress, mild depression and anxiety issues due to recent workload and have lost all motivation to continue. I am planning to quit but afraid will i get a job post that. What shall i do?

Currently an SFA 4YOE was in audit for 2 years. Should i move to a Senior Internal Audit postion which would give me a 40% bump or just stay another year and apply for manager postions next year. Which would probably give me a 40% raise as well - but thatd be next year.
Current job is great in Regards to team and work life balance. Don't mind being in internal audit but not sure of career trajectory or work life balance. Would I need to stay in internal audit later?

I’m so miserable every day is painful. I want to go tell pre-law school me it’s not worth the debt because you will hate this career and then feel trapped by the debt. And then I want to come back to present day, quit this life-leeching, soul-sucking job and start over doing something else entirely. Too much? Oh well. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I'm a new employee, and my manager told me that I'm no good at my job. How am I supposed to learn if I'm not allowed to ask questions?
