High expectations from family, friends and myself. Always been extremely ambitious and a high achiever, and now a V10 associate. Inherited two NYC mortgage-free condos that give me 5k a month.

I feel burnt out and that I haven’t been genuine. I do many (60+) hours of work weekly for the benefit of the few. Considering going into politics or public administration, scared I will be looked down upon and considered unsuccessful by my peers. Never been this insecure and anxious in my life. Help!

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
