I am burned out, do not want to look at code, think about database schemas, business logic. Crunched a lot of code past year, released lots of features, worked really hard out of job security fear.
Now, I am burned out, I am on visa, do not want to go back to my country, I still need to work to be able to get permanent residence in couple of years (one of EU countries). Anything I can do? I just want to quit my job right now, staying here only for visa. I am so burned out that I am thinking reason is bad management, crunching code is encouraged, learn on your own time, stand up meetings must show you are working on something, not just learning to grow. Any one working in a good company, can you tell me if you can say researching something for 5 days straight on stand up meeting? Me not.
One thing I learned hard way is "job is just a job, some employers don't care if you are in trouble in the future, so don't care about their deliveries now", when I was performing good, management liked me, now with burnout, my performance is on decline and feels like people are showing me their anger (not directly, but with variety of signs, not responding, giving excuse when I want to use learning budget and so on) whenever they have a chance.
You deserve it, as anyone else, regardless of your social status.
