When is it ok to quit? I am absolutely miserable at my current job. Mainly because i have no identification or admiration with the product we design, even though the company is a huge global corporation. My boss is a child, no one in the company respects him, but they won’t get rid of him either. I left my old job for this one as a career change, i was respected there and so was my department. My department sits in the company’s dog house, and I have no perspective of growth, or drive to put in

the effort . (I could easily take my boss’s job if i wanted to, i used to manage a team at my old job). I’ve been job hunting for 6 months now, with no interview calls, and only 8 positions have come up since then to that I’d aspire to, to which i’ve applied. Has anyone worked with a job hunt specialist successfully for manager or director level roles? Would you recommend the experience or anyone in particular? I am getting really depressed, energy-less, and desperately looking for a life line here.

I have 5 YOE and make $176k base and $215k all in. My primary background is in analytics but not machine learning. I’m in Chicago. When applying to new jobs (trying to stay in Chicago), no one is really able to offer me higher pay. Am I priced out of a higher paying job given my location, YOE, or something else? Any roles you think I should be focusing on to target an exit and 30% increase?
