Can you take vacation days? Change your tasks/role in some way? Mentor someone else? Launch a new initiative? Train someone? Learn a new role? If you cannot find any appealing or comfortable aspect of your job, you might be burnt out. It is ok to look for a different job if you have tried to make this one work.

Same boat. To add to that stress I’m pretty sure they are looking to replace me. Keep the faith. Start small spend 20 mins every day working on your resume, looking for jobs and then only apply to jobs that would make you excited.

I would start an old school pros and cons list to identify why... what is making you feel this way. Is it the work, the people, the lack of challenge... What do you love about it... you may be in a rut and need to mix things up, but you could be outgrowing the role and need more.

The million dollar question is......
What do YOU want to do?
Spend some time alone and write down, what are your interests? What do you find intellectually stimulating? what kind of job can you see yourself doing? Do you need to get certified or go back to school for some of these areas of interest? If so map out a plan to get there while still being employed so atleast you have a path to get there. Start interviewing for jobs in areas that specifically are of interest to you.
We cannot tell you what that is. You have to do some soul searching to figure that out for yourself and proceed from there.
