What are some things that you do during work that relieves stress?

I get up and walk around as often as possible. Just getting away from the computer and moving around always seems to help me settle down and clear my head.

Getting around and moving is importantly for your body!

I try to work in a pattern where I focus without distractions for a set period of time, usually 45 minutes, and then I look away. I usually get up and stretch my legs and maybe get a drink of water. Just that little break seems to help. And I usually eat at my desk, but my lunch break is honestly more of a Wordle break. I don't know what I did before that silly game came along, for some reason playing it in the middle of the workday gives me some joy and relaxes me.

That’s a very good plan you have!

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

I feel bad for the people who got into supply chain management and are burned out. I feel like they get the short end of the stick, and it truly is not a bad career at all, I think maybe some of them just aren't cut for it.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
