[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been quite senior at a fairly corporate firm for several years now and the effort of maintaining a corporate persona is really starting to eat away at my mental health. I find myself dreading 70% of my meetings because I have to present in a way that feels fundamentally so inauthentic - and truly uninspiring. I have tried being myself and while I haven’t been actively fired, I’m certainly not moving up and perhaps not even cutting it at my level. At this point I have gone from feeling confident and like I had skills to bring to the table to feeling like an absolute failure. I have tried but not succeeded to find an alt opp at my same salary level and am now considering moving to a lower COL area and quitting bc my burnout is so severe. I used to think it was so odd when my friends wanted to quit working as I loved my jobs but now all I can think about is not looking down the barrel every day of 7+ hours of corporate zoom and just like - sitting on a step in a ray of sun. I can’t remember what I was ever good at and wonder if I actually was good at anything or if it was just an extravagant misunderstanding. I know I should be grateful for the comp and I feel awful but the dread and anxiety of trying to thrive in this workplace are kind of killing me. Anyone else?
