Let’s be real: $100,000 sounds nice — until you’re crying in the parking lot before work.
This job pays big, but it’s eating people alive.
💼 The Job: Tech Project Manager at a Big Company
On paper? It’s a dream.
- 💰 Salary: $100K+
- 🏖️ PTO: Unlimited (LOL)
- 🏢 Hybrid work
- 📈 Fancy title
But behind the scenes? It’s a burnout blender.
😵💫 Here’s What Real People Say:
- “You’ll be in back-to-back Zooms from 8AM to 6PM. Good luck eating lunch.”
- “They praise ‘work-life balance’ but expect emails at midnight.”
- “The team is toxic. You’ll get blamed for stuff you didn’t do.”
💔 Why Do People Stay?
- Fear of losing the paycheck
- Chasing the status of a “big job”
- Hoping it’ll get better (spoiler: it doesn’t)
🚪 Should You Apply?
Only if you can handle stress, office politics, and working holidays.
Otherwise? RUN. Or… find something better.
😏 DamnJobs Take:
The job isn’t the problem — the system is.
