These 60hr+ weeks in the summer have me burned out. Thinking of quitting without a job lined up with less than 2 months before my promo to manager is effective. Thoughts?

Tough it out through the bonus, try to take some of your PTO to make it tolerable, even if it’s just a half day on Friday. Use this time to see the light at the end of the tunnel and look for something else.

Tell your managers what’s going on with you. Don’t say you’re thinking of quitting, just say you’re burning out and can’t keep this up much longer. They will understand. Maybe they can shuffle some things around. I feel you though. Maybe not, but it’s worth asking. I’m right there with you and 10/15 is not close.

Take time to look for jobs/interview while still employed, you'll find the process takes a while if you're looking for a good fit. Give 90% versus the 150% you're giving now until then 😉

Start interviewing now. You’ll feel better about leaving if you have something else lined up.

Tough. It. Out. Or interview and get the title. But don’t quit with no job, 2 months our from promo.

Def wait till the promotion

You made it so far, you can do it! 💪🏻💪🏻

Yup just don’t care as much no one will remember

Talk to your doctor about the toll it is taking and maybe they will sign off on short term disability for it? Give you a break!

thanks for the words of encouragement!

Quitting two months before a promotion would be silly. Stick it out and then evaluate. Flexibility should get better as a manager and promotion bonuses are typically better

I took an offer for campus hire at KPMG in Tech Strategy(Canada) this summer however I haven't been able to get my salary before signing due to complications. My estimate is 62k salary.

Now applied to Deloitte Digital and got an offer for 65k CAD + 2k signing bonus doing Salesforce.

Would I be stupid not to take the Deloitte offer on the table despite already signing with KPMG?

How badly would this look on my professional career?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
