I am feeling burnt out

I come from a good college (tier 2) with very good placements but because of mental health reasons ( I was severely struggling) i had to skip placements. After being unemployed for 4 months after graduation my family forced me into taking a job I never wanted. Very low pay, extremely toxic work culture and insane work hours. I don't even have energy or time left to prepare for interviews or even apply to other jobs. This job is slowly pushing me back into depression. And it even hurts to see that all my friends are earning 17+LPA base + stocks and other benefits, while I can't even get a 15CTC job. I feel my career is over and see no hopes for my future. Should I quit so I can atleast prepare for a better job? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi all! I have 16 years of work ex in Corporate sales and currently working in a leading indian Fintech from last 9 years. I am feeling stuck here with no visibility of growth or even sense of job security. I didn't take risks in my career as I am sole bread earner for my family but it was biggest risk I guess I took. Plz suggest me what all I should do to find good opportunities in terms of growth and job stability. I am introspecting and would really appreciate your valuable feedbacks.

I am really feeling bad and stuck, I am not getting what to do next after 14 yrs of IT Experienced. Facing difficulties and not getting good opportunities to up skill and not being able to manage work and family. I don't have soft skills to move to management or client face role, solution architecture. I am feeling my career going to end. Kindly suggest me.

Currently I’m a software engineer in corporate. But now my company has full demotivated environment and I’m not able to work or deliver my tasks. I’m applying for other companies also . But don’t even get interviews scheduled. What should i do? Should i go for govt jobs also? Should i resign first then decide? Should i continue working ? Should i think about career switching? My brain itself is not braining , and filled with such thoughts.

Currently working in one of the domains where i am not interested in at all. It is literally sucking the life out of me working for 12 13 hours daily sometimes even on weekends..The stress is to much now affecting me mentally literally crying myself to sleep every single day..thinking of putting down the papers but currently having no offers in hand..what should i do??

I have around decade of work in IT sector, have decent pay but can't seem to like my work anymore. Is it because - of fully remote work? No outside interaction - I'm in the wrong career. No passion for domain - this is natural? Happens to everyone - I need a break ? Burnout How do you guys keep your motivation level up?

(Trigger warnings ) I had a mental Breakdown two days where I actually contemplated to off myself. I feel I am completely stuck in my current job and mental health has taken a free fall. There has been nothing to look forward to in my job career is absolutely stagnant I remember days i stayed up in night just ensure smooth deliverables but none of that translated to promotions or hike well I know you all will say why didn't you switch this is where the problem is I cannot bring myself to actually concentrate and prepare it seemingly a huge effort for me. I just not able to have that energy i feel absolutely negative. I could use some tough love. All I know is I cannot continue its literally do or die for me .PS : 2 days ago I "celebrated" 5 yrs work anniversary.

Having almost 6yrs experience with single digit salary 😭 every friend and colleague are making a killing every recruiter I speak to just offer x% over last CTC but not the amount I ask stating budget issue. This is taking a toll on my mental health unable to focus on up skilling / working in current org plz help not sure what to do.

I am 22 year guy who is interested in development and loves coding.But somehow don't know have lost my interest completely in everything. During my final year of college. I had got a job offer for Associate software engineer role in a cloud based startup. My college didn't let me attend further placement opportunities due to recession and when my college got over in May 2023 ,The company called me and informed that joining date was August 2023. But 4 days before the joining date,they revoked the offer. I was jobless and completely heartbroken at that time.After four months of grinding,I got a job in a testing based company. The company offered a 15k salary (13.5k in hand). It's been already 9 months since my graduation and due to my bad financial situation in my family.I joined the company hoping, I would get a better increment after the training period is completed. But now it's been 6 months and they are still paying me the same amount . This is not how I thought I would be leading my working life. I am not bragging about my self but I know,I deserve better than this,I am a MERN stack developer (I know, currently market is saturated with MERN stack developers),I have done app development in flutter, Basics of Machine learning.I am just sad not I am not working as a developer. I travel 2 hours for work and 9 hours of work. Daily 13 hours goes into this only.I come home tired and sleep. I am not blaming anyone for my situation,but I am mad at myself for not doing anything about it.Honestly speaking whenever I want to start something I will get confused and end up not doing anything. I don't have anyone to guide me or to help I am posting this,so someone in the tech community can help out

I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have been only with 3 firms so far. Primary reason for job change has always been relocation as my personal life changed during these times. I have always been a top performer since the very beginning and I have been a manager too. But now I start loosing interest and I want to know what options do I have if I don’t want to scale up the ladder anymore. I just want to continue to remain in work to support my family but at the same time I don’t want to feel pressured to grow in career. I feel IT is not a place to retire but I don’t know what other options exist. All the technologies that I worked so hard for are almost becoming obsolete and I’m at a point where I don’t know what to do. Finding job scares me just as much as staying in the current one. Is anyone experienced beyond 15 years and are yet just Sr. Consultants or managers and what are your thoughts?
