How do you differentiate if you are done in this job or is just a bad project situation?

After 2+ years, it feels I am on the brink of burn-out and not enjoying it as much anymore.

Anyone have any experience working with The Mom Project in Chicago? I had a recruiter reach out to me and I’m a little concerned that they know I’m a mother when I keep that info pretty close ...

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
