what have you done to try to get the spark back/find the fun in the job again? other than switching things up and finding a new job since it feels like industry wide layoffs are happening every other week

This literally only happened once for me -- when I was put on a fun account with a supportive team and time to think through it. It's hard to find your spark when working through tight turnaround, low level deliverables for multiple clients

Look outside of work. What I mean by that is find real value and joy in life outside of your job. Pick up a new hobby, make new friends, travel somewhere. I’ve noticed that when I’m able to absorb the world around me and experience life that I’m more inspired at work and look at things differently.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
