Per diem here, they've got my schedule packed but I need to pick up as many shifts as I am - 5 on, 2 off. Feeling burned out but maybe I need to manage my energy or the way I'm doing things differently?

I totally hear you. I used to feel the same way when I was working a lot of shifts in a row. I found that taking short breaks throughout the day and getting more sleep at night really helped me manage my energy levels. Also, I made sure to take one day off a week to do something fun. It helped me to break up the monotony and gave me something to look forward to.

Since you’re Per Diem, why not maximize your days off by picking the shifts you take? You can do 3 12-hour shifts in a row with 4 days off. Or 4 10-hour shifts, with 3 days off. Roo or other relief companies allow you to pick up shifts and coordinate them this way too if your unable to do it where you’re at.

If you're feeling burned out and still not making enough money then that's an indication that you should ask for a raise or get a job where you get paid more than your current position. How many years of experience do you have?

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
