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

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated".

Please share if you know anything about it.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
