Hey I used to do this job !!!
It is hard, it’s a industry with almost no fault tolerance in the process of stripping itself down to be run by less and less people.
I was able to use the experience to transfer to other fields requiring constant uptime and content delivery without being as much of a pressure cooker.
If you’ve been there for a few years already I would start looking at building all the very in-demand skills involved in near-instantaneous content delivery + data tracking into your resume or begin to specialize in one of the “cookie replacement” technologies that are worth 400 trillion dollars.
Especially in the current job market of “no one wants to train juniors” these are invaluable. Your job might even offer courses / cover training in whatever you are missing.
For your own mental wellbeing being able to focus on something related to but not the job itself might help? Sorry I know it’s hard being the breadwinner making slacking off / “quiet quitting” a risk. Best of luck and hope your situation improves.
