Hey all!

I’ve been feeling a bit burnt out lately, and can’t really afford to take a break as we have a few live deals going on.

Can you share what tips work best for you to manage burn outs?

Midday naps. One full weekend day of not working at all. Taking 20m to really enjoy a coffee or sandwich. Checking my bank account. Reading at night before bed//any immersive entertainment (music/shows/books). Dog. Snuggles (snuggling anything really, in all the snuggle manners)...

The nap part is so real!

Sounds counter intuitive but exercise

Exercise is key. Put it in your diary. Don’t skip it.

Definitely get into an exercise routine. It will help with the stress, improve your mood, and bring a sense of balance in the chaos. For me it’s running, but try different activities to find something that’s fun for you

A full 24 hours off (note this can be from noon to noon, it doesn’t need to be a traditional day), exercise/stretching breaks (take 15-20 minutes several times a day), schedule a short massage or facial, schedule short naps, get away from your desk for meals.

Massage Friday afternoon each week plus weightlifting every other day.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

Need some timely offer advice. Currently at a Pre-IPO tech company (IPO in next 18 months extremely likely) & evaluating what it would take to jump to a seed-stage startup prior to offer negotiations.

Pre-IPO tech, BizOps:

+ Equity: $130K/year at current internal valuation

Seed-stage, Chief of Staff:
+ Currently valued at $100M after $12M in financing

This is for a BizOps role & they have a team of 20-30. What cash + equity % would make sense to switch over for?
