Any good books/reads on stress management? I hate how my body produces stressful chemicals/responses on something as meaningless (to me) as work but I can't help but feel stressed all the time.

Sort of like I don't care about profits/shareholder value/the project itself but feel stressed to have to produce a certain quality of work based on people's/the job's expectations

Even if you care about the profits, there are ways to care “professionally” and not care “personally”. As you grow older and become more comfortable taking risks, closing deals and at the same time losing big deals, you will get used to managing people’s expectations while staying sane. The trick is definitely experience, but also building a wall around your personal happiness.

If you know some of these leaders personally, I would say talk to them. My experience has been that these leaders do not hold operational metrics as a testament to who they are or how good they are. Everyone is human. Everyone understands.

The book “why we sleep” by Matt walker changed my life! Highly recommend

Sleep helps manage it but I didn’t realize to what extent until I read this

Been on the job hunt for the past 3 months. Applied to 200+. Interviewed with 15 companies (big tech + mid sized) but failing at either hiring manager round or ghosted after onsite. I’ve spent hours everyday applying, researching companies and prepping for interviews, watching videos, reading books, but just can’t seem to close the deal. Feeling so stuck, anxious and frustrated all the time.

Any advice how to get out of this situation?

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Any SAP analytics cloud developer here? Quick query, client wants a column root causes ..now this column is not available in S/4..now the S/4 team is not cooperative enough.

My leads suggested SAC has comments option. However comments are not going to help users either. Because it will not show graphically which root causes contribute the most.

So my question is now, does SAC have an in built excel option which would allow users to enter root causes across materials and then SAC refresh this
