Some days it feels like the expectations keep rising while the support stays exactly the same. Curious if anyone else is running on grit more than anything else lately?

There are days when it feels like I'm running on routine and muscle memory. I just keep doing what I'm doing, and not only is my heart not in it, at times I wonder if my mind is even in it. The work gets done somehow, so i can't complain, but yeah, running on grit kind of sums it up.

Sorry to learn but thanks for the response

I'm genuinely not sure how I keep going. I'm exhausted and I am broke. It is very hard to keep being exhausted for a job that will always keep me broke. But what other option is there?

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
