Looking back at previous jobs I had, the biggest sign something was wrong was how much my confidence changed. I went from feeling capable to constantly questioning myself. Has anyone else noticed their confidence shift depending on the environment they’re working in?

Yes. Especially in a company SOPs are not easily accessible.

Very true

The mental effects are definitely there when you're working in a bad place. There is no consistency, so it makes sense you’ll start to doubt yourself. Also important to remember that switching jobs doesn’t immediately reverse this either.

My confidence has definitely shifted at past roles I have had. When people are constantly critiquing your work and tearing you down, it is going to impact your confidence. You are right, that is a good way to tell something is wrong.

Still you made an MD

Confidence is the key to success

oh completely. Nothing will wear you down faster than managers who shattered your confidence by micromanaging or being condescending.

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...
