I really hate my damn job. Im doing all kinds of shit which I didn't sign up for. I took up this job because i didn't have any other choice as i wa struggling with long covid. I'm trying to change but I'm not able to find a new job.

I'm 26 years old for some context and working in finance. Would you react similarly if you were my senior?
