I’m in year four now but my first two years were rough. What helped me was experience and repetition. And Similar to what they say for interviews - I used to practice speaking in front of a mirror.

Nobody knows what you’re gonna say except you. Therefore nobody knows if you screwed up except you

I struggled a lot in communicating my thoughts. I still do a lot of introspection even today after any meeting. Best thing which helped me was to attend toast masters

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

Burnout is because you did something consistently for an extended period. You can do quick fixes like go on vacation, get some sleep, exercise more. But they may only help temporarily, depending on your level of Burnout.

Try adjusting your approach to work / life to a more sustainable, and ideally, enjoyable balance.
