Not sure if it is Covid related or burnout from accelerating work in tax, but does anybody have a personal success story on how to re-energize as a staff? Or once you have checked out mentally is there no turning back? I have just stopped caring as much as I did even as recently as a month ago, with a growing pile of work sitting with me, and I want to figure out how to get back in the mindset that helped me succeed before. Currently a TC2 expecting to transition into Senior TC role.

I agree with taking a break. I personally got over my hump once I decided to quit.

likefunny

Yeah I would like to avoid quitting if I could. I have considered it, but I also feel like I owe it to myself to try to battle through it. But then again, if I do find a better opportunity I do want to leave that on the table.

go take a break...this is going to be a while. like get a massage or something, swim in your pool...Anything other than working.

Second taking time off- disconnect entirely and after a few days you’ll feel a lot better.

Take a long break if possible. I felt this way and then was (unexpectedly) unemployed for a while the first half of this year. I didn’t do any work aside from applying for jobs, just focused on the hobbies I’ve always wanted to try. Started a vegetable garden, painted, started playing an instrument, read, watches the movies and shows I had been putting off, etc. By the time I started my new job I felt like a new person, it even helped me feel more creative. You gotta let yourself live like a rich Victorian lady living in the English countryside every once in a while.

Need some advice: I currently do corp dev and FP&A for a smaller company and just got an offer for about double my salary at a F200 company. The catch is I would no longer be doing corp dev, just FP&A. My goal is eventually to crack into ib, do you think I should take the job and the pay bump or stay at my current role and try to lateral in to ib.
