Its so weird to be burnt-out when you keep seeing news of tech layoffs. I keep telling myself that I am lucky to have a job with a decent compensation.

I want to work for something inspiring, something that makes the world a better place instead of yet another failed attempt at an e-commerce project doomed to fail because the business fundamentals are just not there and/or our product is not a good fit for the business strategy of the customer.

"creating a vacancy" is a cute sentiment but in my experience management just doesn't hire replacements

Absolutely man. I'm a tech person with experience and degree but I've truly learned that what counts is finding something unique where you feel valued and have close friends at work . We all die why focus on monet when there Is so much more to life . I've said it before and now I stand even more behind it I'm not moving to LA or NY for any tech job ever . I've made sacrifices and moved for work but life is just too short to not enjoy the few little things in life that make you happy including nice people

I agree that you should stay put for now as you apply. The job market is really bad. However, it is important to take care of your physical and mental health. Spend more time away from the screen. Spend more time outdoors either relaxing or getting exercise. Treat yourself to activities which bring you joy and inspiration. Volunteer if you have the energy. Take advantage of vacation time. The idea is to put some distance between yourself and your job. Talk to a professional. Career counseling and/or a therapists might be useful. Eat healthy. Drink lots of water. Maintain proper sleep. Wishing you the best of luck!

Sometimes it is so awful that you just have to leave, and when you leave, take as much with you as you can.

Try the medical field in IT. I worked for Mary Washington Healthcare in Fredericksburg, VA and I felt pride coming into work although a lot of doctors and nurses are A-holes but at the end of the day you feel like you were apart of something good.

Being as I am a practical person, it is great that you have a well paid job. Be proud of the work you do and the contribution you make to your company. Meanwhile, consider volunteering or starting a passion project on your own. You may find a new career or a position doing the same type of work but contributing to something greater.

Man I understand ya. I worked for 7 years in start-ups/indie studios mainly in such a stressful and fast-paced environment that now I was lucky to find a job in corporate, well paid slightly less than before, but less stressful, I still pull myself by the strings to do the job. And it's much more boring and I see less progression for myself. But yet, I tried to look for something else, and didn't find anything better, they all ask to be a swiss-knife man for same or lower salary than I have now.
Now I don't even know what I want :D

If you're looking for ways as an IT person to get your ideas heard I highly recommend reading The Real Business of IT. It's all about how to explain IT value in terms of value to the business.

Omg this is so true

Just admitting you're burnt out is the first step. Companies don't want to hear it, but the more we speak out the more they canNOT ignore the damage they're doing by treating us like gas-station pump-jockey's circa 1996

Any know the salary for a senior solution analyst at BCG in the Chicago area? Glassdoor doesn’t have that job title listed, surprisingly.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
