Frustrated with my job

Sometimes I feel like quitting the job and be relaxed and happy. Am fade-up with office politics, too much work pressure and moreover from this Indian mentality at work. Want to get rid of all this nonsense but I can't leave without a job, because for me it is keeping me engaged rather than a boring life without a job, even money also matters in this expensive lifestyle.

So last year March i got laid off. Was there with the company for more than 5 years. Was told they are restructuring the org. I was devastated, though i wanted to move much before, but company did not cut pay or jobs during the peak pandemic, so i thought ill stick around for some more time. Next thing i know boom gone. I have taken a break since then almost did nothing.it's more than a year but anxiety of shitty boss, long hours work is hitting me even harder as i apply for jobs. Don't know how the market is going treat me.

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review. Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine got better rating than me due to their manager being good. Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in this shit company.. Looking for advice..

Struggling to land interviews. I have been applying for months now. I feel it's very competitive and the bar is higher. Your thoughts? Suggestions to land a decent job in this market. Feeling frustrated and hopeless day by day. Role : Data Analytics & Engineer

feeling like I am literally in the worst phase of my life. Our company is taking ownership of an abroad project and those abroad folks are not supportive or even if they support us then they give little information so that we can't take ownership. so we freshers have to figure out everything, and now even after figuring out, my manager and higher management asks me anything with respect to the product(features, deployment, anything literally- it's a big & complex project) even though I am a fresher and don't even have the proper knowledge and then ask us to explain to them what we know, and it's literally frustrating to explain to every single guy every single time. Because the manager asks to prepare to explain to him and then to the higher manager and then whenever something is there they keep asking again and again to give a presentation or our ideas about it, but they don't even ask abroad folks when they are the one who is doing the work. I just feel like I can't keep up with this and I want to resign. How to say no to the manager for doing a particular work again and again or should I resign because I am feeling very low right now and still after 1 year it looks like I have wasted the time because I got to write code for maybe 5% and 90-95% feels like college presentation. Every time there's something and they ask the same thing 3-4 times, sometimes it would be give the x info or then y info and like this only and because of that i can't do the real work or work on new features because the Indian manager and higher officials keep giving extra work which they should ask from US folks. What should I do please suggest

Left previous job due to severe toxicity in the entire co. Only 2 senior level people would boss around the entire co. and then put the blame on junior roles if things didn't move as expected. Been on the lookout for a new role for almost 2 months now but to no avail. I'm exhausted. Don't know how to go about it. Lost all motivation. But I know for a fact I'm fucking great at what I do. In case you're aware of companies that are hiring for a PM role, please share.

I am a PM at an edtech startup. The company is not doing well and my boss is not a good leader. Although company has a runway of 2 years. For the past 3 months I have been doing program management. No product management related work at all. No one appreciates you here. It's mentally challenging to work here. No road map for myself. No appraisal. I'm just going on the job for salary. For the past week, I have been thinking about quitting and taking a break. Then look for a job. I know the market is tough but I have runway for 4-5 months. I have a total of 3 years of Product experience. What should you guys suggest. I really need your help here.

I'm feeling really stuck and frustrated at work lately. Despite putting in my best efforts and consistently performing well, it seems like my manager is feeling threatened by my progress. He’s been rejecting my ideas and work without even reviewing them, and calling me out in meetings for not completing non-priority tasks. The environment has become really toxic and it's taking a toll on me. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm sure that almost everyday we see the news of layoffs and I feel like I made the mistake of switching in this tough time. I have 3.5 YOE and I switched my job in September 2022 last year from a very comfortable SDE job, only the pay was less, I had a good reputation there and only switched because of money and growth, since I thought that i'm not married yet so I can take the risk. I was very confident when I joined but then I saw that it is client facing work and with strict deadlines, my confidence has been waning every day, the environment here is completely different from my previous company, they need work quickly and i'm scared to ask for challenging work, so far I have survived with picking work that I know or somewhat know, but I don't know how long it will last, i'm scared if they give me something I dont know and I don't deliver, what will happen. I have enough money for 5-6 months and I give myself some comfort by thinking, the worst they can do is fire me, not kill me. But then I see all these layoffs and I think how will I get a job in this environment. And If I do get a job and it turns out the same with the same stressed environment, then will I switch again. I feel trapped and think I made a mistake when I was confident, I should not have aimed for growth, I should not have left my comfortable job and should have known my place. Is feeling like this natural or is it just me, how do you guys maintain your peace of mind when you feel trapped and stressed. I don't want to give up but I also want this horrible feeling to end

It’s been 11 months since I joined my first job. Being from an IIT, I only did DSA in college and got this job paying a decent 20lpa base salary. But when I first joined here I was put at bench for the first 6 months. I always used to ask for work but got very vague work of writing python scripts. Finally I was put in a project but the work mostly involves utilising python and MATLAB. I have started doing DSA again and learning MERN stack. I am applying to a lot of jobs but apparently my resume is not getting shortlisted anywhere. I want to make this switch but my biggest fear is that if I will be able to get an offer which matches this salary. Any advice how to get out of this situation ?
