Is it normal that the past few weeks I have started applying to a bunch of big tech/high paying companies and now I don’t want to do my actual work anymore? Anybody else that can relate? I feel so guilty for not even working anymore but like many of us, I’m so over it, over being underpaid and not considered for internal positions after multiple applications. I know I should be doing my work, but part of me just wants to get fired already and I know that sounds so crazy but that’s how done I am.

Juat keep meeting your expectations until you have an offer in hand and a start date. Dont burn the bridge with the current company, but do not over work yourself. Looking for a new job is a job in itself.

I totally understand how you feel. I am in the exact same boat! Currently applying to better jobs and had a couple interviews just waiting on an offer before I can leave!!!! Hang in there

Just applying? Nah.
Once I have an offer in hand, sure.

Ah... a classic case of the "f***k-its". I completely get it. Tough it out the best you can. The reality is that it is easier to get a job when you have a job than it is when you don't have one. That being said, your priority should be to look for another job. Don't work overtime, search for jobs during breaks/lunch (on your personal phone, NEVER on company equipment). Don't use sick days as "mental health" days - save them for interviews. Most importantly, make sure you ask the hard questions during the interviews to make sure you aren't moving from one s**t-show to another.

Love your feedback- thank you!!!

Don’t have advice so as much as commenting to say I feel the exact same things. It’s a huge struggle day-to-day, but we do have to remind ourselves this is just a chapter of our lives.
If it’s any consolation, I have actually thought about ways to get fired that would still qualify me for unemployment that wouldn’t take a soul sucking, lengthy process and could be almost immediate. Unfortunately, don’t know if there is one.
