Totally with you! I"m doing a great job as a PM, better than most according to feedback. But I just can't manage to get the role to be long-term sustainable for myself too. I'd have to not give a shit about anything, like many do, and I haven't figured out how to do that. I just quit for the 3rd time and headed straight into the forest for a few days. Lesson learned this time hopefully. I either need to go back to being a Scrum Master and focusing only on humans and flow, or I don't know... stock grocery shelves or wash cars for a while.
I have also quit two times and they keep hiring me back. I am a PM in the energy sector and I hate it. I’m in the middle of constant chaos and resentment and pissed off customers and managers that lack an ethical compass. But I don’t know what else to do with my life. I have no way to replicate this salary.
Yeah, same problem. Thankfully got some saving that allow me to take it a bit slow. But it still feels VERY uneasy.
I think I could also negotiate my way back in, a few months down the road. Fingers crossed I end up somewhere else before that happens. Money or not, I'd rather live in peace poor than endure this stuff in exchange for a little more travel and a few nice meals here and there.
