Lately, I've been struggling with work, enough that it's caused relatively minor medical issues, and I can't figure out if it's a burnout spiral or eroded trust in the company after a few rounds of layoffs and stress from poor execution an AI marathon.
Normally I'd leave for greener pastures, but the job market isn't great, and I'm sitting on a lot of unvested RSUs I can't easily replace. I don't want to leave without trying alternatives.
Fortunately, I have enough cash and few enough obligations that I can take a very long break on a budget. I also have enough PTO saved for a 1 month break, but it would impact the perception of my work for the half.
Is my best move to check out and put effort into interviewing? Is there a way to change my perspective so I don't feel drained most of the week?
