So confused and depressed. Was laid off from my firm but have time till the end of November to find a new role. I had few good interviews and am expecting an offer to come through but I really don’t want to do this work anymore. I am feigning interest in the interviews and the very thought of doing this job yet again is literally making me weep. I don’t know what the matter with me is. Is this burnout? Something else? :( Not sure if I should take a break or try for in house or anything else…

If you have time before they pull you off the website, might as well try applying for in house roles and see if they spark your interest more. Also think about how long you could potentially afford to be unemployed before roles. Even a few weeks of doing nothing could really help you reset.

Currently searching and have been feeling the same way. Wondering if I’m burnt out or just haven’t found the position that reignites that “fire.”

I'm in Silicon Valley, and been in the industry for about 15 years now. Fell into the corporate in-house role and been in those ever since. I primarily do marketing/brand design. I'd love to get to AD level, but I think my main issues has been that I rock the boat a lot and don't play the "corporate game well", piss off the wrong people. Does anyone have any advise for how to advance in corporate environement while keeping the integrity of creative alive?
