Fire_6's journey

I recently started a job as an auditor at my local tax inspection office, and it's been a tough four months. At just 24 years old and fresh out of university with a degree in political sciences, I find myself feeling burnt out and stressed, even experiencing physical symptoms of exhaustion. One major issue is that I wasn't trained in tax legislation, which makes my job feel overwhelming. My coordinator has high expectations, expecting me to perform flawlessly and quickly, which feels incredibly unfair given my lack of experience. There have been moments where I felt humiliated, like when she scolded me for a mistake I didn't even make. The upper management adds to the stress, with discussions about monitoring employees' time down to the minute, including lunch breaks. The pay is not great, and I've heard that salary increases are almost nonexistent for the first three years, with only minor raises afterward. I’ve been hesitant to leave because I spent six months searching for this job, and I know the job market in my area is limited since I don't live in the capital city. Some days, I can get through the workday just to earn my paycheck, but other days, I find myself crying on the way to and from work. It feels like I’m in a toxic relationship with my job, and I'm seeking advice on whether I should leave or stick it out while I search for something better.
