How do you typically break up your day? Do you typically have a set schedule for applications/interviews/ career development, or do you just fit these things into your day as the opportunity arises?

Not having a set schedule has been really hard for me mentally, so I've been trying to be a bit more regimented. I wake up and work out at 8, shower and have coffee after, then work on applications until around noon. Then I'll take a walk, make lunch, do chores and get back to looking for roles. It's not a perfect schedule by any means, but it at least gives me some sense of normalcy while I try to get through this.

That sounds like a really balanced approach, you have structure to your day without it being centered around just job hunting. Nice job!

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
