Fatigue or???

I've been working for the last 5.5 years in sales and projects. I kinda don't feel like doing anything anymore. Why do you think it could be? Things on the personal front are okay. I just find it hard to be consistently driven. This is my 4th company now. Got laid off from 2, and left 1 due to the pandemic. 30 y.o. now, single with an MBA with a niche specialisation from a decent college, which isn't being used anywhere. Had to take a pay cut while joining this one. Big chunk. Talk about ESI level salary. Feel lack of growth in professional tools, and completely demotivated to even learn despite buying a million courses online, can't join FT cos obviously I can't stop working rn. (Sigh)

Sales roles in specific and Business roles in general have a high probability of resulting in burnout after several years of break-neck hustle.

I'm currently in this stage at Year No. 8. I have been through all kinds of Business roles from Sales (different channels and roles) to Marketing too.

Nothing kills your continuity like Sales roles and the daily hustle that is expected out of you.

My advice to you: Assuming you would have made a decent corpus, take it slow. Take it one day at a time and start exploring different work opportunities that you would like to take if not for your current condition. Start looking at options with a motive to get some network. Slowly build from there.

Actually no, I spent out, since I stayed out of my home town for the last part. I was unable to decide on a competitive job. So I took up an underpaid job living paycheck to paycheck, still figuring it out.
