I've spent 20 years working and 8 in the industry. Definitely feel jaded and looking for an exit. The push to use AI whenever possible, the repetition of the work, the cluelessness of leadership, the rounds of layoffs, and the Return To Office even if it reduces productivity have all worn on me. The high compensation has kept me here longer than I probably should have stayed. A lot of my "issues" would be noticeably better if I worked at a startup instead of a megacorp, but then the compensation wouldn't be as good. Also ... just staring at a screen all day. I daydream about being in nature and find a lot of my senior coworkers do as well. Maybe a year off would help.
