Am I wrong for wanting to get laid off?
I'm a burnt out A2A and I honestly just have no drive to do this job anymore. I have unfortunately been getting crushed for the past 2 years and really haven't put as much time towards studying for interviews as I would have liked, so I feel like the best opportunity for me would be to get laid off and spend that time searching for new jobs. Am I wrong for thinking like this? The constant stress from working on deal teams that are too lean, unrealistic deadlines and incompetent seniors has made my life miserable and it feels as if I've hit rock bottom. What do I do??
If you enjoy the work, a change of firms might be worth a try. New team, fresh start.
If you don't enjoy the work, get out. Honestly. Nothing is worth your mental wellbeing and health. I cannot emphasize enough how much the stress amps up as you move up the chain. It does not get better.
I experienced the same thing two years ago and I decided to resign without an offer in hand to allow myself rest for two years till now. Nothing is more important than your health both mentally and physically. What you're feeling now is absolutely normal.
Curious what you're doing now
I've been traveling, learning a new language, doing exercises, and spending some time with my family in the past two years. Start to interview with some companies recently though.
