Hello Redditers,
I am a SQL developer. I have lost interest in my current work. I am not learning anything new. Technology stack that is being used is all legacy. They assign me tasks that I don’t like. The team is small. The work culture is non-existent. Hence, all the tasks fall in my bucket.
My manager is not at all co-operative. I don’t expect any kind of help from him. We have unlimited PTOs but I have only taken a 2-day time-off till now. Getting time-off is also difficult. They make you feel as if you are asking for a favor.
I have started looking for other opportunities. This might take some time because I need to brush up my skills. Currently, I am creating some portfolio projects which will accelerate my joh search. But in mean time how should I deal with my current work? I am very depressed. Right now I get a feeling as if I am wounded badly but I am waiting for an ambulance to take me to the ER which may or may not arrive on time.
When the day starts I find it very difficult to start with my work. I constantly think about switching and hence I am not able to concentrate on anything.
I thought of resigning but resigning without a offer in hand is not an option for me. Please suggest me how should I deal with my situation?
