It's Wednesday and I already feel like I need a break....any other consultants who struggle with work life balance / getting through the week? Consulting has taught me a lot, but at the same time sometimes I wonder if it's time to pivot (and...whether pivoting would even be better for my WLB / happiness)

I am so burnt out so I feel this very strongly

like

The burn out in this industry is so real. I feel like almost everyone is at least at times, whether they admit it or not.

I do feel that pretty often. I always get through it and have to remind myself whatever is stressing me out will pass. I definitely know this is not a long term sustainable path for me from a WLB standpoint. The grass is always greener, most jobs are not this demanding.

Hi all!
I’m currently on my last year of university, pursing a computer science degree. I have yet to get an internship, or any experience in tech. Any advice on where to start? I would be attending part time in the spring semester and taking night classes so I would like to have something set up for January, let me know what you think. Thank you in advance.
