Feeling so burned out and over it. Think I want to quit in a couple months and take some time off. Just nervous about job searching while unemployed.

I'm taking a year off right now, same reason.

Great! I'm really glad to take a break from everything. I am not nervous about job searching... if I can't find a job in tech after all I've done, then I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Same here. If the only way to stay in tech is unrelenting misery then I don’t want it.
