No, but really. How do y'all do this without losing your mind? Seriously feeling like I made a huge mistake taking this job. Haven't done anything fun or for myself in weeks. Totally sleep deprived. Any tips? Does it get better, or should I start looking for an exit now?

It does not get easier or better. Make Senior or Manager and get out.

I keep sticking it out saying I'll get used to it. I never did. This is my last busy season. Even if I need to take a paycut.

In my opinion, it doesn't get any better. However, the job market is awful right now. I have been looking for 5 months and can't seem to find anything else.

It just gets worse. Get out now.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
