I think this is right. Just have to jump ship before it all explodes and people wonder what happened

Similar to gaming the stock price for a couple quarters as C-level, but now with more incentive for this sort of behavior at IC level

That doesn't sound so bad to me...I mean, so long as the there is chemistry in the banter and the commentary is not grating

Brief (15m) daily meditation helps with this as well

I have seen it where new graduates are referred internally but have to have a mentor prearranged (typically the referrer) to oversee the work of the junior before they are offered the position...not sure that's helpful though..

When I got my Junior position after university I had just been applying to _everything_, mid-senior engineer positions, did not care. I was eventually booked to interview for a "senior" position where the interviewers made it clear that they knew I was a new graduate with no experience and essentially conducted a more junior-level version of the interview

MRNA technology R&D is a data problem (to my limited understanding)

I do not like reading or writing manifest yamls so have been looking for something like this. The documentation looks pretty thorough too...

Excited to try this out!

I like Productive on ios, there is a degree of gamification there with streaks and the like - https://productiveapp.io/

They are are allowed to upload snippets but are limited in length and number of clips they are permitted to upload per episode. I assume they provide the allowance for purely promotional reasons. Personally, I find the clips too short to be particularly interesting

  This is madness right?

  My real main issue is that time just flies by and I am learning nothing and accomplishing nothing

  The advice given to me was to make a mini plan for my own time and to define the role I am in myself. This confuses me because it doesn't actually solve my issue that my time is spread too thin.

I also recently dealt with my first burnout. What helped me most was a trip away to a (somewhat dull) area with my close family Avoided looking at any of my screens, temporarily ban any work-related thoughts for a few days; went on hikes, made good meals

Was a bit bored but being able to pause and rest made a world of difference

I have recently had some improvement by splitting up life areas - work/self-care/social/financial where each area has a handful of reactive+proactive strategies to be employed

Each time I context switch between the areas, I recount 1) What issues I have in the area and 2) What handful strategies of strategies should I be actively using while I am 'in that area'

With this it's been helpful to divide & conquer, e.g. "these ~5 things help with work life, these ~5 things help personal life" as opposed to trying to adhere to a long list at all times.

At the very least, it seems more manageable to approach slide back events (slippery slope of poor inhibition) as isolated to just one of the 'problem areas'

Regular 20-30 minute walks interspersed throughout my day have helped, usually every 2-3 hours It's probably more breaks than I would otherwise need but getting outside had helped me be mindful and exercise inhibition; a bit of a reset, so to speak. If not, I find myself getting stressed out at home more than I otherwise would as well

Holy Crap - nice work

Horcrux refers to the Harry Potter series, it is a piece of a soul that has been split apart from the rest and hidden for safe-keeping

I thought it was a cute reference
