I am underpaid. I didn’t get promoted. I am crying twice a week about my job. Taking maximum workload. Actually getting overloaded and just not in a good mental headspace. My boss said everyone’s in the same boat. I feel so invalidated. How do I get my boss to listen/make it right?

It's time for a change. You can get through tough times with good leadership. It doesn't sound like that exists for you right now.

Yeah, I would get a new job. Not every fight is worth it, especially if it’s detrimental to your emotional and mental health.

Don’t waste your time at this employer. Consider this job a paycheck that you need to hang on to until you find the right role. Especially in this tough market where even the most experienced folks are having a tough time landing new roles. Do bare minimum that will allow you to keep the job. Spend rest of the time looking for another one

Agree with this here…leave because there ARE greener pastures, but best if you can line it up before you quit.

If you don’t care about your job, stop putting in 100% and putting it more on yourself and the search for your next job.

Time to do some soul searching and determine if this industry is even right for you, YouTube is full of people finding happiness leaving big4, I banks, management consulting and choose a happier journey

After spending 20 years in big4, I find alot of people are not too happy, you can see the common theme in fishbowl and similar sites historically, it’s an extremely demanding work environment… and there are really a lot of ways to live your life

Imagine if you have terminal cancer and die in 2 months, is this what you wanted to do, might be a bit extreme but I had colleagues went thru that.

Which company and practice are you in?

Got your resume ready? How many years there? Update your profile on LinkedIn. Work with at least one recruiter and an inside recruiter if one of those reach out to you. I got a mix of luck with ambition to switch companies for a better role and 40% raise. Once you get an offer, see if your company will match or come close. Otherwise, move on and be appreciated more.
