Does anyone else just have one day a week (Saturday for me) where they are just a full zombie and have to decompress and sleep from all of the burn out?

Yes! It was usually during a weekday but then I realized that’s socially unacceptable and moved it to Sunday 😂.

Not to go off topic, but I’ve realized that I really do need 24 hours a week to decompress and this factors into me having kids (or not having kids) and the life I’ll live. I didn’t want to admit this to myself for a while, but it’s the truth. Oh well, the truth set me free!

Same. I’ve seen other similar posts on other ADHD forums, which leads me to believe this is a common symptom of ADHD.
I wonder if it’s because our jobs are so Atypical, even tho we aren’t.

Definitely. Saturday is also my zombie day.

It's a widely known that product based companies (like MAANG pays handsomely), for software engineer roles and that is what a lot of CS grads strive for ,this is true for MAANG and also a lot of startups,unicorns and other tech companies.
