You're burnt out. I'm in a similar situation so I decided to leave my job without any backup plan but my savings. I do have personal projects, things that I've always wanted to work on (lack of time and energy). I also plan to visit the people I appreciate in life for the next month or so.
I was working in the hottest company in the game. Landed an onsite to the 2nd hottest company in the game :-) when I was quitting. They contacted me in the first place and decided to bring me onsite without doing any phone screen. I cancelled everything last minute and didn't even show up. I was simply burnt out.
I'd say, the rule is much simpler than you think: life is short and you're unhappy. Your job is not to work for anyone. You're job in life is to make yourself happy no matter what it takes. Quitting could be the best think you could do right now. Don't be afraid. We're coders and everyone is looking for coders... do what you like!
- hwstar 11y agoI got this off of a post from someone else on HN: Fuck working hard for people who don't care about you. Fuck working hard for another dollar to spend impressing people who don't care about you. But, when you find those things that are their own reward, then, work hard.
