Job and other tips I learned the hard way (still making some mistakes): Rule #1: Negotiate from a position of strength. Fact #1: We tend to negotiate badly when we are desperate. Human nature. Fact #2: Desperation is a state of mind. You can really be in dire circumstances but keep a calm mind. This can be learned. I know stoic folks who are cool as ice when negotiating at the precipice of existence! Super men! (This is where I fail many times.) Fact #3: (Certainly my experience) When we quit one job summarily without alternative options already lined up, we are likely to create a desperate mindset. It creeps into our attitude and plants the seeds for exploitation. Avoid this as a rule no matter how shitty things get. Plan B first, then quit. My advice to you is find another job but don't expect it to be better. Plan your Plan B while there. Best of luck, bro/sis. Employers can be ruthless sometimes. I would take some time during the next job seeking stage to do stuff I like. Travel? Perspective comes with distance.
