Seriously burnt out - is it time to jump ship?

I'm so over this place. I've been a compliance analyst at Schwab for 4 years, and the workload has been insane ever since the TDA merger. We're constantly understaffed, deadlines are impossible, and management is completely out of touch. My mental health is in the toilet. I'm constantly stressed about making mistakes and getting reamed out. The pay is decent, but honestly, it's not worth the misery. I'm starting to look at other opportunities, but the job market is tough right now. Anyone else feeling the same way? Is it just me, or is Schwab a pressure cooker these days?

I hear you. The TDA integration has been a nightmare for everyone. Four years is a good run, and it sounds like you've hit your limit. Decent pay doesn't compensate for the stress you're describing. Start putting feelers out there, even if the market is tough. Update your resume, network, and see what's available. Your mental health is more important than a paycheck.

Compliance is tough anywhere, and Schwab is a big company. Maybe try to talk to your manager or HR before jumping ship? It might be possible to transfer to a different department or negotiate a lighter workload. If they know they're about to lose a seasoned analyst, they might be willing to work with you. Have you considered using any of Schwab's resources for mental health?
