Work burnout and pandemic burnout have me feeling totally lost - so lost I can’t even imagine a new career path that excites me, but I know I don’t want to continue the one I’m on. Partially venting here, but also looking for any advice on changing careers or finding your “calling.”

Start with a small change, and see if that fixes the issues or gives you a better understanding of what you actually want to do. For example, switch companies but keep doing your same job, or switch to a similar but different job within your current company. As long as you're burned out, it will be hard to really think deeply about what you really want career-wise, so I'd solve for fixing that in your next move (and start with a lengthy vacation or staycation, wellness practices, therapy, etc.).

I just started my first day at a startup (on the executive team) but a new friend of mine wants to utilize me as a part-time portfolio manager/financial advisor given my entrepreneurial, VC, & operational background. His holdings are $10m+ and mostly in real estate but he wants to get more involved in tech investing. I have a background in both and it won’t violate my obligations. What terms should I offer him? I was thinking: 1% AUM and 10% profits. Please offer any advice.

I love sunny weather so much; it significantly elevates my mood, which is a free lunch! The summer in NY was amazing but considering taking a precautionary step for the winter by relocating for a couple/few months to a sunny place like Miami. My job accommodates this.

Have you heard of anyone doing such climate-based back-and-forth? Any tips or advice? Also, how’s Miami for a New Yorker?
TIA!
