Not that I expect any of you in here to be doctors, and I am going to see one anyways, but I have been noticing since the end of 2021 how my days are different. For one, I barely get online before 10 AM and find myself sleeping in on most mornings (I know, must be nice!).
Still, I feel drained in a way and some of it can relate to job stress.
For one, when I was an SDR at my current company, I produced exceptional results but dealt with two very disrespectful AEs. I got passed over for a promotion because someone had more industry knowledge than me (they came from the space) even though they were here for far less and didn't have the same performance.
Then, I get promoted to AE and get no onboarding or anything, it was a "figure it out as you go" kind of deal. Luckily I had a couple of awesome teammates that helped me out.
Now as an AE, I have to also do account management, renewals, and even putting out fires because one of my CSMs takes no ownership.
I find myself constantly crashing during the day and taking a nap. I can't even get up early like I used to be able to.
I wonder, has anyone else sort of been there in a job where the job itself was that draining? Can certain jobs really do this to you?
