Is it wrong to feel extremely burnt out and wanting to just not work for a couple of months? I feel like my mental health is on a thread. How do I get out of this mentality?

I need a sabbatical

like

But the long never ending implementation I'm on(which is the cause for me wanting a sabbatical) makes that undoable

Bruh same. It’s not wrong. I feel like I’m working all the time

Not wrong. This was me a few months ago. Took personal leave for a few months. I’m back at it and rejuvenated. Did taking time off solve all my issues? No, but it certainly helped me reflect on life and be reminded on what matters most - my health, family, and friends - 3 things that I neglected the past few years, and even more so these past few months.

I was lucky to have partners at my firm who supported my needs. I never felt guilty for prioritizing me.

That sounds really soothing and like something that has served you well. I’m glad you have the support!

You don’t get out of that mentality. It’s not good to just work work work until you die. Especially now during covid people are just carrying on like it’s business as usual without taking a second to evaluate their mental health.

Sounds like it’s time for a sabbatical.

I totally agree with you. Sadly, I just left a job that probably would have been okay with me doing this given my years there. I just started a new job a couple of months ago. So I don’t see that option being available anymore 😥

I think the majority of people are feeling this. I truly love my job but feel the same way. Utter exhaustion and having a hard time motivating for any task some days. I don't have an answer but perhaps it helps to know you are not alone in this.

It does. Thank you! Definitely hope things get better soon for everyone’s health.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
