If you're in the United States, I would leave right now, take a few weeks off to get your head back on straight, and then look for a new job. This is one of the hottest job markets I've ever seen for software engineers, and perhaps particularly in the data science arena. I'm certain you could get another job quickly.
If you're not in the States, then I don't have a ton of advice for you, but I would certainly look around for other options. Life's too short to be miserable 40+ hours per week.
- muzani 5y agoJob market is probably hotter outside the US now. Corona really encouraged remote, which encouraged not just outsourcing but full time remote jobs.

- muzani 5y agoI might have phrased that poorly. I mean plenty of jobs outside the US have greatly increased salaries in 2021, which was a ripple effect of remote work/globalization. I was looking at a 25%-160% salary increase back while I was job hunting this year. It used to be that the biggest barrier to hiring outside a country was that it was less effective to have them work remotely 100% of the time. But now it's practically the same thing. Some companies are getting bargains, others are just using it to hire the best out of other countries.
- Jemaclus 5y agoThat's great to know. I'm in the US, so I couldn't speak to how the market operates outside, but I'm glad to hear that the markets are good across the board for engineers. Thanks for the additional info!
