Hi! I've been doing this since 1994 (I started in the industry instead of going to college). I feel this way approximately once every 7-8 years. What I think I've learned is that I make stupid decisions reacting to those feelings.

Yea it seems like the right thing to do is to step away and take a sabbatical to cool down, and then remember that we like money, and that it's just part of the game to get paid.
Oh, the seven year itch. I didn't think it would apply to work, but it makes sense that it would.
Do those cycles happen to correspond with the tech market crashes? =)
No, my last one happened at a market peak.
