How do you overcome burnout? Me (and my entire team) are just done. Between the lead on the project and client hating EVERYTHING we do, no matter what, it's like why even care anymore?

As the task lead, I try desperately to keep up morale for my team and absorb as much of the negative feedback as I can so the other team members don't see it. But I'm just done. Have to force myself out of bed every morning - wondering if I can call out dead.

Perhaps its time to compartmentalise this project. Cut your losses and not invest any more effort in trying to please. Be professional but work to contractual obligation. You also sound like you need a break, perhaps some vacation if possible?

Maybe have a 1-1 with your career advisor or someone in leadership and express how you genuinely feel. I’ve found sometimes when I am burning out, I just feel isolated. They can often help you lighten your load or manage your load. They can provide support.

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.

Hi all,

Please suggest.
I've 3 yoe in techno-functional domain.
I wish to go into technical (development) profile now, but not as a fresher. I want to continue with 3 yoe.
But the issue is, I have no (dev) project to show in interview as an 3 yoe person.

I've learned Java, springboot, restfulAPIs, kafka, but still hesitant to go for interviews as I do not have projects to discuss.

I shall be very thankful to you if you help me here.
How/where can i go to make projects now to justify 3yoe?

When would you ever use Fortune 10/Fortune 50/Fortune 100 vs the official list terminology Fortune 500 when describing a client you've done work for in an agency?

Or not even?
