Thinking of quitting! Need advice.
Hi Everyone,
I woke up today with the thought of quitting my job. I've been at this company for 4 years and although they are good people the company structure and company culture - is not for me. I get more anxiety and stress than actually feel like I'm working towards something or helping the company grow, etc. I've had a few interviews in the last two months but nothing yet.
I feel like I'm wasting my time and energy in getting my work done with no motivation whats so ever than actually working pursuing what I want. I'm also pursuing my master's degree and have a few more month to go, which means that the little time I have after work goes towards school work and not the job hunt or myself.
I'm planning on having a conversation with my partner who always helps me think clearer and get a second point of view.
Has anyone been through a similar situation? Any perspective on this will help me.
And no I am not quitting today, it's still just a thought in my mind.

Number one- Self Care Mamis. If it doesn't align with how, you feel and it's connecting to "no motivation", and you are working on your masters and feel that your energy should go towards that, then don't feel guilty if you have to give something up to focus on something else. That is called re-evaluating of priorities. If you feel you need to have another job aligned before quitting cause let's face it bills (don't go nowhere) and are almost forever, then it's ok to job search with the goal of quitting that 4- year job. if you feel you can make the time and effort on your masters Darling go for your masters because once you have that under your belt no one can take it away. As for your self -care it is a must because it's an important part of you.
