There’s constant pressure to keep learning in tech and I sometimes feel guilty when I choose rest over another course or certification. I’m so burnt out. Idk if the mental toll of doing everything I can is worse than the mental toll of resting.

Learn on the clock. If someone says "we should incorporate x", book some time and participate in the evaluation / documentation / POC during working hours. You probably have the time, just decline a meeting that should have been an email anyway.

Certification is a check box. I won’t confuse that with “learning”. You should be learning on the job and willing to do new things. That’s the point here

Taking a break from social media also helps

I feel you, it's a soul-sucking existence. They demand more and more of you and then at the flip of a switch they let you go because of "org restructuring". Chances are you don't need to be an expert in everything they want you to learn, you just need to be literate. This is a really good time to use AI to help make learning more efficient. You can say "write a tutorial for a beginner to learn Salesforce in 5 paragraphs".

Guilt is for the weak slave minded according to frederick nietzsche. Learn how to turn it off with a phrase like "oh well.", now resting happens. If you dont rest, your learning will be half assed. The guilt is the only problem here.

Yeah, I just say eff it even in the face of fear because I see brilliant people get let go every 6 months. Learning is important for when that happens to you, then you are skilled enough to land on your next role while or before ;) walking out the door

To all the post-9/11 veterans, it’s a somber day that unites us all in the reason we fought.

The waters became muddy with two wars and politicians, but you all stepped up and did your duty. Thank you all for your service, it’s an honor whether we crossed paths or not.

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?
