Been working on a lot Corona related work lately and feeling very burnt out. Can anyone else relate? Any tips? WFH shouldn’t mean I should be on stand-by at 10pm.

Unless you are working for the CDC or other medical professionals you should always keep regular working hours. At the start of this, I set my DND for my phone alerts and email OOO to resume at 8am. Establish boundaries and stick to them.

No tips, I just relate.

GTFOH

I can relate but not that bad. I can understand being flexible and available but you need to decide at what time you turn it off and get some down time. If you don't take care of you, you will be no good to them anyway. You'll be more productive if you get some rest.

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
