How often does everyone have nightmares about Excel and broken spreadsheets? I used to have these once or twice a month; now they're my second most frequent nightmare. They're right behind nightmares of being in college and realizing finals are right around the corner for classes I forgot I was in.

I’ve had maybe one nightmare about work ever. I don’t think the pay justifies it dominating my thoughts in my sleep too

How often are you having nightmares? This is your second most common and you're having them more than twice a month? Are you having nightmares every night?

Not nightmares but I wake up thinking about broken formula’s 😂😂

Hell, I close my eyes and see nothing but gridlines lol

I always dream about a train going through a tunnel.

I don't think I've ever had a dream like that, and I used to live in Excel... Are you generally happy otherwise? I do rarely have those school dreams.

I had those my first fee months. Mostly because I was unfamiliar with them and the vast majority I worked on were wrong in one way or another. Once I had a better understanding of them and took a vacation, I was fine. Haven’t had a dream about work since.

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage.

Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?

Hi. I am desperate to change jobs. I have two offer in hands: Deloitte Hyderbad on a contract basis with 15% hike and KPMG Bangalore FTE with 25% hike. I like Deloitte as a brand better.
None of of these two companies are willing to offer more saying that they have a tight budget.

Which one should I take? Please help me decide.
