[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in your position, but not for as long. That being said, I can already relate to the way it messes with your self-image etc. So be kind to yourself.

First, you need to start feeling better about yourself. Talked to a colleague yesterday who is also in a similar position to me, and he mentioned that he's ready to "rage disengage". Given all the churn, are you at least able to strike some personal balance and invest time/effort into things you enjoy? In my situation, the culture is so toxic and the org such a mess, there isn't a lot of pressure or incentive to move quickly or do everything perfect. So trying to get my personal life in better shape instead.

Second, you cannot continue in this situation forever, I don't think. What have you done around your job search so far? Have you looked at head hunters? Executive coaches? Maybe you need to shake things up entirely.[/quote]
I should look at exec coaches. Mainly I’ve been reaching out to contacts and applying to things - but the only offers I’ve had are quite a bit lower than my current comp. I think I might also be depressed? I used to have a lot more chutzpah and job search yielded quite a few bites but now it seems to be limping along [/quote]

That's why you have to get out as soon as you sense it. It can crush your self-esteem and confidence, which will make you worse at interviewing and you'll spiral down until your stuck in that miserable job environment you hate. And then eventually you'll be let go from that job. Fortunately I've managed to get out before that happened. But I've seen it happen. And it almost happened to me.[/quote]
