I started my current job about 6 months ago. At first I was very excited. Salaried, work from home and decent pay considering my experience. Unfortunately the work life balance has become progressively worse. I currently work 6:30AM – 6:30PM Monday through Friday. No dedicated time for lunch breaks. No overtime pay. I am basically expected to be at my computer all of the time and my inbox gets spammed if I don't respond to people within a few minutes.
I am so mentally and physically drained, but don't know what to do. I need this job to survive. I'm not sure what I really expect to get out of this post, but it's nice to talk about my problems I guess. I am at the point where I am going to start applying for a new job. I really need to put this current job on my resume because it is really good experience (and my only relevant experience in tech/project management). What will employers think about me only working here for 6 or 7 months though? Do I need to stick it out longer to improve my future job prospects?
