I’ve been working from past 5 years and in this phase of my career I don’t feel I am contributing enough to the org or interested in moving up the ladder seeing the lifestyles and fucked up WLB. I’ve recently suffered a huge personal loss. Have turned extremely under confident, feel like quitting everything. How to overcome this?
There's no specific way anyone can answer this. I am sorry for your loss. I can empathize with you, but can't help you with your next steps, only you can!
Here's what I'd suggest - Figure out what you want from life and your career. You need to put efforts into self introspection to get the answers.
Once you know it, you'll know the next steps.
Don't make any decisions in hurry. Leaving a job seems easy, but if you have commitments like your family, loans etc then it would daunt you. You must have a proper exit strategy if at all you decide to leave.
If the work is overwhelming, you can take a small vacation or sabbatical to figure things out
Thankyou!
I would say, take OOO and travel for a couple of weeks pondering over your thoughts.
Listen to TRS podcast with sushant sister...that might help.

Hit the gym hard, take a solo vacation or workcation, get a lot of sunshine or go out to the park (want to say go walk in the woods like Bryson but realize that we city folks aren't lucky enough to access that), get some small wins through personal activities such as hobbies/exercise, eat your comfort food, quit pot, drink moderately. Hopefully all these things should help you get back on track. If none of these also work then try therapy

After 2 months joined an early-stag...
Hi guys, I am working at an MNC as a front end developer. I am going to complete 4 years soon here which is no less than a nightmare.
I should have switched so long ago but I am still stuck here. And it's wfh, so I have been feeling so...
I am in a tricky situation with no hopes for promotion soon. Already spent a good 7-9 years of my career here. I want to take a break and rethink, maybe do an MBA or CFA Not sure whether I need a break or am being frustrated and lazy. No...
Pursue CFA. You are not being lazy, you are exhausted. You need a break
