I have 8yrs of total experience in Marketing/ Project Management . I am now currently working in Accenture sa Marketing and Comms. Okay naman, wala naman problema.

May friend na gusto ako irefer sa TaskUs as Project Management Specialist (focusing in Tech) . Di ako sa call center. I asked my friend if okay naman, sabi niya culture, benefits and di daw niya feel na BPO culture sa team niya. lahat daw okay. And I also thought na this is a really good opportunity to shift my career sa Tech Project Management. Okay naman yung offer and career trajectory wise . Kaso nadidiscourage lang ako kasi sa reputation ni TaskUs eh. Okay ba? Will it be a degrade if company wise? Dami ko pa din kasi nakikitang bad reviews eh 🥺 please don’t judge , just genuinely looking for answers.

I used to be so hardworking. For the last 3 years, I worked for different clients, took certifications nonstop to upskill, and eventually reached a 6-digit income. I was able to travel 4x a year, sustain my lifestyle, and help my family financially.

But there came a point where I became soook exhausted.

Vertigo hit me. I was always sick. My body constantly felt weak while I was silently battling anxiety on the side.

I quit one of my jobs last October and decided to stay with just one stable job. After that, I went abroad for a vacation and honestly had the best sleep of my life. For 3 weeks, all I did was sleep, eat, and travel. I was sleeping 12 hours a day unapologetically, and it felt so healing.

Now, I only have one job in a stable company. It’s quiet, not too demanding, and sometimes there are barely any tasks. Literal na natutulog lang ako at sumesweldo. It pays around 50k a month after tax — enough for bills and a few wants for myself.

I finally caught up on sleep and rest. Kahit anong oras ako matulog or gumising, okay lang. I started working out again and choosing healthier habits. In many ways, I’m genuinely grateful because I was finally able to rest.

But now that I only have one job, I miss traveling. I’m no longer able to help my family with my siblings’ tuition the way I used to.

And now that I want to look for extra income again… ayoko pa din pala.

Ayoko nang balikan yung stress at pagod na pinagdaanan ko dati. But at the same time, one job doesn’t feel enough anymore.

Parang ayaw gumalaw ng katawan at isip ko. I am attempting to finish another course to upskill, but I still feel frozen somehow. Di ko matapos.

I want to travel again, because that’s one of the few things that genuinely make me happy. I want to help my family again too. But right now, I can’t afford the life I used to have.

And honestly, ang hirap na rin maghanap ng work ngayon. I know I’m already lucky to even have one stable job.

It’s been 8 months na, maybe I’m still burnt out until now.

I don’t know. I just feel a little lost.
