I'd love to. I used to be a very good software engineer, and I think deep down I might still be, but this place has taken all the joy I had in work. I'm not sure how I can get another job at this point where I can barely stomach the one I have.

I feel that. I spend multiple hours a day staring at my screen thinking "this whole thing is a scam, right?"

I'm not sure if it's possible for you, but I feel I've been in a similar predicament with a job I had. One day I just quit and took a few months off. IMO what was giving me that feeling was how weekends and evenings wasn't enough for me to fully decompress.
