Done faking it. When people ask how’s it going I now say, It’s shit, stressful and anxiety producing. How are you?

Can’t imagine the stress and the hours at that level. That’s why I never want to be a department head. Money is probably good but is it worth the trade off for no life/time off?

I’ve seen a handful of people take a step down to the next position and have never looked back. Even with the pay cut. Is EP an option?

Not to mention that your non-billable ass becomes a target - Do a poor job, your weakness puts you at risk. Do a good job building a strong team, your strength puts you at risk.

Good luck Head of Production.
Thanks Havas.

Everyone is vulnerable. Transitioning to sideways or focused roles can help recharge your soul and open up opps for others if you you are in good with management and have an advocate. However, letting go is way harder and scarier than it sounds. I did it and still struggle and not everyone appreciates my path. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Short term just start having those convos with yourself and those you trust.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back. I know I would benifit from some ADHD medication but my Dr won’t prescribe any with my history of BP (controlled with BP meds). Anyone else gone through this? Any tips?
