This is a field that will test that again and again. The way I look at it is we all sacrifice our well-being and free time to get ahead in this industry and get conditioned to believe self-neglect and selflessness equals more money. Generally, a point of diminishing returns approaches and that's when to make a decision. When the market goes south many more people become willing to work for less and do without just to stay employed. The market never readjusts after these shifts usually it takes a transformative technology like mobile, cloud, or new infrastructure to lift itself back up again. This in turn requires more education or learning skills and starting over again. The next move should be learning what's "next" and if you do that things will probably be mostly OK. It's a gamble but if you believe in yourself invest in yourself and don't fall into the trap of using those same skills working a lot more for a lot less. Instead of throwing the towel in consider charting that course to a better place.
