After working late for weeks, I finally submitted that massive project. I'm proud of myself, but now I just feel... empty. Is this post-project letdown normal?

Tots - especially if you didn’t get appreciated for the work you did, and if you worked on it on your own, and if you don’t have much going on now. But congrats on your project! 👏👏

100% normal. It’s why I prefer working client side than agency - I need to see what happens after the product is launched or the campaign is out, I need to be part of the next step.

But the next thing will be right around the corner - take the time for the debrief, make sure you get to experience the aftermath: what was good, what could have been better and be ready to apply it to the next project.

Of course you feel empty. You just gave up your life for weeks to create a piece of garbage that hurts other people.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
