Climbed the Ladder, Now I Want Down 😩

Hey everyone, I'm sitting here at 2 AM staring at my laptop screen, and I need to get something off my chest. I worked my butt off to become a marketing director at a tech startup. The pay is great, the title sounds impressive, but I'm absolutely miserable 😔 I miss being a junior analyst where my biggest worry was hitting my monthly report deadline. Now I'm responsible for a team of twelve, every campaign failure lands on my desk, and I'm the one getting grilled in board meetings when numbers drop. Does anyone else feel trapped by their own success? I keep thinking about those simple days when I could just focus on data analysis without managing anyone. How do you step back without looking like a failure? 💔 #careerregret #workplacestruggles #managementburdens #JobCareer
