This 37-year-old quit due to burnout—how she's avoiding walking into another 'dumpster fire' at work. (via CNBCMakeIt)
At the time, Soundara, 37, had been working nonstop during the pandemic as a product marketer. Her social life dwindled as she sheltered in place and much of her friend group moved away from New York City. Meanwhile, she worked furiously while her small company prepared to go public: "I went into overdrive with work," she tells"When she asked me how I was doing, I had a complete meltdown," Soundara says.
"I don't mind working hard if I understand the goals I'm achieving and there's meaning to my work," she says. "But it was becoming a hamster wheel of just doing things, coupled with overwork." Quitting was a release: "I was holding on to a lot: anger, resentment, anxiety, physical and mental exhaustion," she says. "When I finally put in my notice, I had a sense of relief that I was now on a new journey to focus on myself."After she quit her job, Soundara lived off her savings and traveled to Hawaii and throughout Europe for a few months. But she knew she couldn't simply vacation away her problems.
With this in mind, one of the biggest things Soundara, who is Asian American, feels empowered to discuss in her job searchAs she takes job interviews, she comes ready to ask: "Does the company have a DEI program? Are they intentional about hiring people from underrepresented groups? Are there programs for employees of different underrepresented groups?"
