I've been working harder at work for a promotion. I'm not going to get it. I fucking hate work, it's not particularly hard, it's just unfulfilling and boring. I dread work every day. I would go somewhere else but hate interviewing because even for 1 job it's at least 4 interviews and tests. I can't afford to take a cheaper job. I took today off though so that's nice.

If you've been working hard at work to get a promo, it's probably time to get that promo, but externally. You'll probabaly get better pay that way too.

When putting together your resume, remeber to use the xyz format for your job successes "achieved x, doing y, with z results". This helps provide hiring managers and recruiters an idea of your performance and what type of results you can likely deliver for their team.

You are going to suffer every day just to avoid 4 interviews?

I interview for a new job every now and then, like twice a year, even tho I don't hate my job.

It's a fun process that can only go well (worst case, everything stays the same) and you practice your interview skills. And you get a first hand peek into the job market to help you negociate your current job conditions. And you get to know new people, companies, processes and technologies.
