I have been trying to adjust in my IT job for more than 3yrs now, switched companies but not able to find peace. Work life balance, project allocation, day-night shifts and extremely tight deadlines issues will always be there no matter what. I have been a good performer so far but at the cost of my mental peace and over-work. Never felt settled. Worked more than general hours.
Maybe I don't know how to cope up and say No. Shall I be taking a break and think about future? I'm already 25.

Do what your heart believes in ...

I am 29 and took a break from job 6 months back. have enough savings to last 3-4 years

My heart doesn't want to stay in the rat race , be desperate to get married and have children like everyone else .. i am not up for it so am not following the norm

Lucky part is my parents are fine with it. If i fail i fail ... Nothing is really going to matter once we are dead , with so many things and distractions ..people will forget you in weeks (not that you can do anything even if somebody remembers you for long , that somebody will go too )

I come on this app once in a while and just see how worried and anxious everyone is ..and wonder if all this is worth it

I agree with you

Go abroad specially in europe to get good work life balance. There you won't be a slave and if you work extra hours you get paid. N extra hours are rare.

One of the main problems atleast what I have seen with Indian folks atleast whom I am seen is that we are generally available 24x7 or whenever out manager or client calls
We have to stop doing that atleast I did what is the most that can happen you will not get good hike that's it
The difference between top performer and avg performer in most of the companies is somewhere around 5 to 10% ask yourself is it worth it in most of the cases it's not
Remember no matter how top performer you are , you are always replaceable so don't overwork

All your valuable inputs would be really helpful.

PS: Is the designation reasonable? I see some people with 6-7 YOE as managers and with 8-9 YOE as senior managers.
