I’m burned out, underpaid, and still can’t bring myself to look elsewhere. The job is stable, the benefits are good… but I feel stuck. How do you make the leap when things aren’t bad enough to force it?

Force yourself to do it anyway. Make applying to new jobs part of your weekly routine and stick to it. Right now, it's going to take longer than usual because of the abysmal state of the job market. The sooner you get back on the proverbial bicycle, the better.

Finding a new job is not a guarantee to fix your burn out. See what you can do at the current job first. Internal move, or even just figuring out what you need to move on.

Absolutely, fix what you can and find joy where you can!

This was me a few years ago in public accounting. I felt completely burnt out that even when I returned from PTO, it wasn’t enough. I loved working with my team but it was just the work that was the problem.

I think that’s just our industry as a whole

I feel you. I’m slightly below market however my benefits are amazing. I do love the company I work for

I’m currently in a similar situation and am focusing on getting a lateral move so I can still get a raise and do something new, but I don’t have to apply to a million companies. If this doesn’t work within the year, then I’ll start looking elsewhere, but sometimes internal roles are much easier to attain

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
