Tell yourself you did the best you can and there is nothing you can do right now to alter the outcome. Also the outcome has nothing to do with you as a person or your self worth regardless of what the outcome is

Xanax is typical medication for anxiety - did you consult with your doctor? If not, whisky is a common alternative.

It’s out of your hands now. You’ve done all you can. Go for a run. See some friends. Live in the moment. Worrying won’t change the outcome and will burn energy so that when you do get an answer, you won’t have any reserves to tap into

Haha not that level of anxiety. Just normal mentality tricks and tips or ways of looking at things.

I have cleared the interview at TCS for java developer role. My current ctc is 4.5 lpa with 5+ years of experience. I started my career in non tech profile then switched to technical roles in the same company hence my package is too low.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I could use some guidance on how to transition out of firm life into a government role. Prior to law: four years working for a state and a city, and four years before that worked at a consulting agency strictly serving government agencies and cities/counties. You’d think this would parlay well into the government roles I am applying for, but so far no dice. I’m entering my fourth year practicing as a lawyer. I love admin law, have some litigation and some transaction work as a lawyer. Thanks!
