I’ve been working at my current job as a front end dev for a little over 1.5 years now, and I’m completely burnt out. I seriously contemplate if I should quit every single day. I’m severely underpaid ($54k in HCOL area) , commute 1-1.5 hours to and from the office, and constantly micromanaged by my boss (I work in an open office space).
Of course I’ve been applying non-stop daily ever since I even started this job, and I’m pushing almost 2k apps now. I’m kind of giving up on searching for dev/tech jobs for now. I’m starting to apply to entry-level $20-25/hr basic office jobs in my area. Honestly even that’s probably not enough to pay my bills, but I’m not paid enough now anyway—my current salary converts to $27/hr.
Is it worth it to sacrifice my career and jump to another non-tech-related job? Or should I stick it out for another half a year until I reach the 2 year mark?
