On Call Hell: Time to Jump Ship?

Here's a counterintuitive truth about today's job market: Sometimes, quitting is the MOST strategic career move.

I'm seeing it more and more. Companies, especially in tech, are quietly increasing workloads after layoffs without increasing compensation. You signed up for one thing; they're delivering something else entirely.

Staying might seem safe, but accepting unreasonable new demands sets a precedent. It devalues your skills and normalizes overwork. And in a job market projected to stay tight through 2025 and even into 2026, skilled developers are still in DEMAND.

It's about your long-term career trajectory. A principled departure now signals you value your time and expertise. Start exploring options BEFORE you burn out. Reframe your resume to emphasize your impact, and target companies with better work-life balance reputations.
