   I quit after getting burnout as a full time fully remote software engineer at a nice posh tech company. I would say save as much as you can and while you’re doing that try to interview at other places and roles like your life depends on it. Don’t stay in a bad situation and keep lying to yourself, because there’s a reason you feel that way ahead

   Feeling the same as you brother. I recently went back to a fully in office gig as an IT worker and I feel my energy sapped every day I get off. Hybrid work used to be the sweet spot for me to balance work and life, but that’s getting more and more rare now. I don’t really know where else to go honestly. It’s a big world out there yet I feel so small!

   Pardon my saying but “quarter life crisis?” I never heard that before!
   .
   Am 61, now, and someone forgot to tell me to have a crises, I suppose? All the work I have ever done I tended to enjoy.

   I’m 31M, I started my this story below when I was 28.

   I was making just shy of 120k in a HCOL for my first corporate job as a recruiter. The job itself wasn’t hard per se but the volume and dealing with the constant never ending flow of people burnt me out. I worked for a very large tech and shipping company and throughout one holiday cycle, was forced to call and lay off over 800 employees in a week. I couldn’t take it anymore and just jumped ship without a job lined up because my mental health was completely destroyed.

   I remember waking up and staring myself in the mirror thinking “Is this it? Is this who I am? Is this what I tell myself to do to make money? This is not who I am or how my family raised me”. So quite literally the following day I gave them my 2 weeks and they proceeded to tell me not to show up the next day.

   2 months later I applied to work for the federal government and got in with a large 3 letter agency. Everything was perfect but then DOGE happened and I took the resignation deal. Out of luck and timing, I managed to land a position with my city as a Labor Detective and I’ve been loving it ever since. I make about $50k less than what I did in my corporate position – but it’s not too different since I’m in a much lower cost of living area compared to a tech city. I’m so much more fulfilled and I actually smile when I get to tell people what I do every day.

   It might not work out for everyone and there’s really no guarantee – but if and when you do end up taking a leap of faith, and if and when it does work out – it’s like the greatest feeling in the world. To believe in yourself and having life reward you for it is just an amazing feeling.

   Hi, I feel you. It’s difficult to not be engaged at work anymore. I watched [this yt vid](https://youtu.be/qgeQ5kMVwRA?si=RDi6bnm2LxKwSlho) that talks about time management when starting your own thing. But basically:
   – Get more time by commuting less (live closer to work), wfh, or using your commute time to be productive with your own thing.
   – Don’t quit your job, use it to ‘fund’ your passion, but don’t perform at work.
   – Assess your free time: is there any misc. thing like hanging out, watching shows, etc. that can be repurposed to working on your own thing? Basically just awareness and more be anal about your time.

   Anyhow, hope things go well with you. Good luck!

   I left an engineering job to join an education non-profit when I was your age. Cut my salary in half, moved across the country, best decision of my life. The key is to really identify what ‘progress’ means for you right now. It sounds like you want more time for creative pursuits that your current job doesn’t offer. From my research we call that a “Regain Control” quest. Your job is fine, but you don’t have time or energy for other priorities. If, on the other hand, you fundamentally feel hatred/disgust/disrespect towards your work or your co-workers, meaning, you literally hate your job, that is more of a “Get Out” quest, and things are more urgent. If you are trying to “Get Out”, then don’t be picky. Any job that gives you more time for your creative pursuits while paying the bills will do, but you need to wrestle with the tradeoffs in terms of your resume, your longer-term goals, etc. If you are more in a “Regain Control” quest, then you can be more patient. Just find a similar role that comes with more flexibility, or tell your manager “Hey, I want to do well here, but I need half a day a week for some creative work that matters to me” and that may be totally acceptable. It all comes down to figuring out what progress means.
