Should I take a break since my wife career is taking off

How is the 6-8 months career break seen by recruiters? I am exhausted and burnt out with currently juggling between work and health. I was hoping to take 6-8 months break and then resume work by applying for jobs. So was wondering how is the job market in India now? And will it be a wise decision to quit?

which career it might be?

was neglecting my mental health for long time...due to unrealistic deadlines and pressure today got a panic attack at work felt light headed and almost passed out.. currently i am not having any offer in hand so should i quit?.. don't want to my physical health to deteriorate more but i am really confused..not having any responsibility as such..having around 5 6 months corpus and can shift to my home and save more but still that uncertainty and fear is there which is making me miserable day by day

Hey everyone, I've been working with this MNC for over three years now, primarily working on one project since the beginning. Lately, I've been feeling like my growth has plateaued, and the work has become quite monotonous. My manager has mentioned that exciting new development tasks would be coming my way soon, but unfortunately, these opportunities haven’t materialized for over a year now. I'm at a crossroads and unsure of the best course of action. Should I consider resigning to actively pursue new opportunities, because preparing for interviews while working and managing a 90-day notice period might be challenging? Or should I continue on with the current project while simultaneously exploring new job options? I'd really appreciate your insights and any advice on how to navigate this situation. Thank you!

I'll set the context here. I was suppose to join a new organisation in the start of the year but it went on a hiring freeze immediately after my notice ended with my then employer. I ended up accepting the first offer that came my way. It was not of my desired profile but it was better than being jobless. Now, couple of months into the new job, I realize this is a very toxic place to be. Dormant founders only caring about money, rampant nepotism, no clear path for career growth. It is becoming difficult to sustain at this place. I've been trying but now I can feel my mental health dwindling because of it. I dread going to office everyday. But again, in this job market, atleast I have a job. The product role I mentioned is still on pipeline but no one knows when the freeze will end. My hiring manager and HR are pushing for my candidature (according to them) but management isn't allowing them to move ahead with new hires. Now my question is, should I quit my job and try finding my desire role (which seem like a humongous task) or stay put and wait for a offer to come and then leave my current employer? I'm torn. I dread going to office everyday. I don't know how much do I have it in me to keep continuing but I'm pushing my limits. Want some advice from fellow grapeviners here. TIA!

Currently working as SDE-2 at Amazon, promoted some 1 year back. I'm totally burned out from work pressure, oncalls, layoff and performance review cycles every 3 months. Thinking of resigning without any offer by June/July. Will this be the right decision in today's market. I'll take some 2-3 months rest and start job hunting again, hopefully in better wlb companies. Just want to enjoy, travel to new places and prioritise my health. Balding and weight gain are major issues, and i don't think conditions will be improving in Amazon soon. BUT, the job market is tough, and IDK how it will impact my career Is this the right decision or I'm a fool Total experience: 3.5 Yrs Age : 27

I have been working for the past 8 years and have had a good career so far with a degree from a great college. However i have been feeling very burnt out recently and I'm losing the motivation to do things on my own. I am considering taking a break for a few months (3-6). I have good savings and minimal debt. My spouse has a stable job so i may be able to afford it. I want to use this time to just do nothing for a while, take a few courses and pursue some hobbies. Maybe travel a little bit. I want to also use this time to figure out how to break the loop of getting to a burnout stage. Has anyone ever done something like this? What has your experience been like?

I’m from Tier 3 city, software engineer, 7 YoE. I work with great team member and they really love their work but I’m not that passionate. I take ownership of my work but don’t feel like I belong here. I’m not good in coding and SDET by profession. I didn’t save enough money in my first 3 years of career, switched back to back from 2020 onwards and recently moved out of India and now I think I have enough money. I always wanted to settle in my native place, Prayagraj in UP unlike my colleagues and most of my friends who enjoy to be in metro city. I somehow feel I have very less needs and if I shift to Tier 3 city, I’d have less expenses and I don’t have to buy houses as I already have home. At the same time, I feel may be I feel FOMO 5-10 years down the line I left good job, lifestyle. Additionally, I’m looking to get married, none of IT sector girls want to live in Tier 3 and rightly so as they put so much effort so they want to live/settle in metros mostly. 8 years back I took GRE, put all efforts to do MS from US. 2 years back, I got this opportunity to live that life but I feel I don’t enjoy hustle culture/ city lights. Don’t like cafe hopping or anything. I feel at peace when I visit my hometown, my paternal/maternal houses, Varanasi Ghats. I have 1.3 Cr INR but given I’m just 30. As per Finfluencer or by my sane calculation, this is not sufficient. Post marriage, this is certainly not enough. Should I take a break and assess or just keep pushing myself to earn more and then go for FIRE. Hoping for constructive feedback.

Is it advisable to take a break to switch jobs if you have a hard time preparing while having one ? How significant will be the impact on my profile. Financially I am well placed and can afford to take one. Details for context: YOE - 3 yrs Profile - Software Engineer (duh) Techstack - C#, .NET, SQL server, JS. Current Pay - ~20 LPA.

I’m a digital marketing job where my manager was fired a week before. Now they have moved me under another person for reporting but he is so bossy and attitudes and mainly he never understands marketing. He is more of an operation guy. Life is getting toxic under him as for each and everything need to explain a lot and he gives me random other work which is not relevant to me and takes time.. just after my old manager went, I’m spending like 12-14 hours everyday.. too much off mental stress.. Also the founder believes him more than anyone in company. So I’m planning to resign immediately, I don’t have any job offer and so far just giving interview in 2 company’s since last week but I guess it will take more time to get a job as market scenario is not good.. I’m ok to take a hit for 1-2 month for now as resigning immediately and just focus on getting a better job. So need your thoughts and opinion on this..
