So exhausted of both doing this work daily and then trying to find energy to job search. How have others managed around that? Considering putting 2-3 weeks of PTO in my calendar after this project ends just to focus on job searching because I’m unable to put any meaningful time to it. Thanks for any tips y’all are able to provide!

What are you trying to exit to? Large companies move on their own timeline - some can speed things up but most likely it’ll take longer than you’d expect. I wouldn’t waste PTO that you’ll want to cash out later. Just find 30-60 minute time slots when you can, or take PTO for a day or two and schedule a bunch of stuff for that day.

Generally looking at big tech, and some startups here and there. 100% agreed that companies have their own timeline. I literally meant that I don’t even find enough time and energy to do the networking and applying meaningfully

Save the jobs you’re interested in on LinkedIn. Wait until the weekend / early morning and block out 30 mins or an hour to apply to your saved jobs. I found that by mindlessly scrolling at night for jobs (instead of looking at instagram or whatever), I was able to do half of the work of finding the openings; then, when I had mental bandwidth, I spent time on the weekends or first thing in the morning applying. I didn’t take time off other than for interviews… and even then, not too much time (I would just block my calendar and go to the zoom interview and hop back online).

Maximize your weekends / evenings / early mornings. You’ll have to cut out some socialization but it’ll be worth it.

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool. Tell me why once I got in the cab I got a drunk call from my manager asking if he could get a cab to my place and if I would give him the address 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

Any firms charge no-shows / have a provision in their fee agreements about reserving the right to do so? I get that we aren’t healthcare, but I work from home more and more now. So when I drag my ass to the office because a client wanted an in person meeting, and 38 min later, they aren’t here, it’s frustrating
