Is anyone else just completely burned out, especially after these last few years? How do you find time and energy for yourself outside of work?

I think it’s really about working the hours/work style that are best for you and not completely adhering to the typical 9-5 day.
Sometimes I don’t start working until 10:30, sometimes I stop working at 2, but other times I’ll work 8-6.
I find it also helps to remember that it’s just a job. The worst that can happen is they fire you and you find another one. You don’t have any onus or loyalty to them, so there’s no reason to put the job over your own personal needs.
And if you need a break, just take a break. The company won’t go bankrupt if you’re away for a week or two.

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
