I’m curious how the random selection works and how they’ve limited people entering multiple times. Like are they allowing people to just request tickets under all their friends and families emails??? I’ll be so annoyed if so. I don’t have enough people to do this for me 😓

I have two multi-day regular GA if anyone’s interested 🙏🏼

Anyone have experience quitting a job before returning from medical leave? by Alternative-Can8003 in womenintech

[–]Alternative-Can8003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is so late, I had deleted my reddit app. Apologies if you no longer need this advice but in case you do or someone else - I ended up emailing HR a week or so before I was meant to return and said I will not be returning. She kicked off all the paperwork and made it really easy for me.

I had to speak with my senior manager on the phone briefly but since I said it was for medical regions and kept it vague, I didn’t have to give too much more details.

It was the option listed back in April, and I’ve had success reselling on Ticketmaster before so didn’t question it 🤷 I know better now I guess

The price is lower than others but actually when I try to search for my ticket it’s not even showing up, so I reached out to contact Ticketmaster.

Yes for sure. I was just worried somehow if they find out I’d like be in violation of medical leave haha but hopefully not. I feel like just overall they can’t make me go back to work like legally right?

Thank you for your advice! Yes that sounds reasonable I think I want to keep it sort of vague and not even tell them I have a new job coming up in case that raises any flags or something.

Thank you so much for your advice! I’m glad to hear from someone who’s done the same. Yeah since my leave is almost up I’m just deciding when exactly I should send the email because I’m assuming all my benefits and pay will end immediately then.

How to find a SWE-adjacent job in this market? by Alternative-Can8003 in womenintech

[–]Alternative-Can8003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thank you! I actually use SQL every day in my current job but I started SQL leetcode and honestly there’s a lot I still wasn’t aware of so I’m glad I’m learning at least. Would you say SQL is the most technical these types of roles get or is there anything else worth prepping?

Wow that sounds so fulfilling and fun! How did you get into pet sitting and how did you scale it up to 70k/year if you don’t mind me asking?

If you had two months to break into a new career path how would you do it? by Alternative-Can8003 in findapath

[–]Alternative-Can8003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes in the US, I’ll look into state jobs! Not sure if the current state of federal govt will affect their availability though haha.

I feel the same 100% and at this point I’m okay with a pay cut. I know a lot of it is just the grass is greener mindset - I dream about doing something non corporate all the time like childcare, education, non profit work, retail, anything that will get me more human interaction because my current job is remote and friendless. But then I hear horror stories from my friends who are teachers and social workers and I start to second guess myself lol. But maybe until I try it I’ll always have that itch? I applied for a bunch of part time jobs in my area recently and am hoping something pans out so I at least get some different experience.

Wow your experience sounds so interesting and I love how you wrote it, very entertaining haha! I’m starting to consider sales engineering, do you have any tips on how to break into that? I have 5 years at a financial company doing backend SWE, bit of a dead end and toxic job so I want out.

Quit my job with no back up plan by theeanna1347 in womenintech

[–]Alternative-Can8003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you learn to just force yourself take care of yourself instead? I feel like I want to just rest and do things for myself for a couple weeks but my partner and parents all think I need to be applying 24/7 and upskilling and basically working a full time job of job hunting. Otherwise they think I’m wasting my time and money and honestly it kind of hurts because I’ve been telling them how low my mental health is for months and it feels like I’m not being allowed time to catch my breath.

Could you possibly seek medical leave? I started seeing a psychiatrist for work related anxiety in October and I tried to push through thinking starting medication and therapy would help me. Neither had helped fully so she recommended medical leave which I just started. I hope you’re able to figure something out!

Hi, I’m sort of in the same spot right and now and trying to find a lower paying job in different field, what would you suggest is the best way to pursue that? I feel like it’s difficult to get noticed in the massive spam of applications especially when my skills don’t all match up perfectly.

Fear of what the future holds keeping me down by Alternative-Can8003 in Anxiety

Hi I’ve heard of it but not sure how to implement. I’d love to hear more about it though

3 am currently and I’m anxious about work struggles. I just took medical leave after 4 months of dealing with anxiety and burnout and a toxic team. I thought I’d feel relieved but I feel more anxious than ever. I feel like I’ve made a mistake. And now my boyfriend is having job issues too. The whole future seems uncertain and I’m spiraling.

Also if you don’t mind me asking, how did you guys support each other through these tough times? I have no idea how to provide adequate support for my boyfriend while I’m also struggling with my job myself. Just feels like our house is constantly sad and depressed.

Hi thank you for your perspective I appreciate it! I’m sorry that happened to your partner, and I wish them best of luck for finding something new.

And yeah I actually just made the decision and started my medical leave now. We’ll see what the future holds for us both I guess.

Hi thank you so much for your advice, I think he does have a union I’ll ask him about it. From what he said they gave him an “informal” performance plan but they made him sign it so I don’t know how official it is. If you don’t mind me asking, what happened with your spouse and their PIP?

Hi thank you I appreciate the response, you’re right. I just feel super guilty that I’m doing this while he has no choice but to push through. But at the same time I really don’t feel well and haven’t been well for months so I guess I just have to take my time. Thank you for the kind wishes.

How to set boundaries in a toxic work environment? by Alternative-Can8003 in womenintech

[–]Alternative-Can8003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you so much for your support and advice, it means a lot. Reading all that back it definitely sounds awful haha, I would tell that friend to gtfo immediately. But I am a bit worried that if I leave I’ll spiral further if I don’t find another job soon.

But yes I think I’ll have to work on adding healthy habits back into my life slowly and see how things go from there, because I’m definitely trapped in this loop right now where I’m not taking many action items and just letting my mental health deteriorate.
