You need to be financialy independent, as long as you are not you risk being a wageslave and doing what you have again if you fail to make money in some other way.
If you're not financialy independent you need to create a sustanabile revenue stream from some other project.
In general the recommendation is to either match your wage with your alternative revenut stream or even 2x of your wage before quitting.
If you quit without heaving a revenue stream you risk just jerking around and ending up having to go back to a job you hate.
Based on your tone I don't think you can ever enjoy the work you are currently doing. Trying to enjoy something you hate is trying to square a box.
You're too far gone, you've seen/understood thing that makes it clear that you don't want to do what you do anymore.
But the reality of this planet is that you need $$$ to survive.
Based on my own personal past experiences I really have to say this: don't quit until you have an alternative revenue stream that covers atleast your living expenses.
- muzani 4y agoThis might be why everyone is burned out. They feel they need two jobs before quitting one job. By the time someone retires at 50, they're so used to working two jobs a day that working none is a shock. By comparison, I see cooks and truck drivers who are happy with their work, despite making much less, whereas tech people talk about feeling exhausted all the time. I don't think it's about the money. It's probably more related to the nature of tech work.
