Yup, right in that same boat with you, sister. I feel like I'm constantly overperforming then expected to go even harder the next week. When does it all end? Just when I think I'm about to catch a break, BOOM something else gets dropped on my plate...

I try really hard to take 1 weekend day off. I also do usually have dinner with my husband and will log back on later on, but I rest better if I just push through as much as I can at the office, than come home, and only do easy stuff at home (emails, doc review, etc). It helps differentiate the stress in my brain between office and home. Sometimes burnout is inevitable and it's a huge disappointment, but you have to push through it and take moments where you can catch your breath.

Story of my life!!!! I have been running on fumes since 2014, my senior semester in college. Since then I have been basically around the clock, with one or a dozen looming deadline(s) hanging over my head. I am in a constant state of exhaustion.

Yes! I am right with you, too! I am really struggling with even finding motivation to looking in to getting info together from start my business, because I have spent the past 2 decades doing everything I DIDN'T want to do. Now, I am unemployed, again, and have zero motivation to do anything at all!

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Dear crypto and other investments,

I have come to the realization that I absolutely do not want to work for the rest of my life. I would much rather spend my time living it up with my gf and the boys, traveling the world and living my life. Therefore, I am counting on you to not be an endless disappointment and come through clutch.

Love, someone who will go full office space if you fail me.

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?
