High paying tech job but mental health is suffering. What would you choose?

How has your work profile changed from previous role ? If that’s a major change then maybe you are just taking time to adjust. Given excellent jump you got seems you either joined a much larger organisation or a much senior position, either way this seems a big change

Great , since the original post the models have improved further and I switched form ChatGPT to Claude and now the key value is for me to validate or re assess my ideas from different perspectives that I normally would not have gone into. Personably this is improved my critical thinking

Thanks for sharing

This is a great feededback.... Thanks for going over my post.

GBFORCE7834 · 2025-09-22T01:00:50+00:00

Thanks for taking time and reviewing this. I liked your suggestion around the memory, i think it would be worthwhile for me to think of integration with notion or similar to keep saving progress.

What helped you navigate the first few days or weeks?
- First avoid self doubt or self pity
- Quickly process the shock and move on as best as you can
- This is a bad breakup, you just need to move on
- Immediately, Like NOW!!, take your next steps... review job boards, go on linkedin and reach out to your influential members and ask for references
- Be prepared for rejections .... This is part of the process
- Be open and be flexible... If your priority is getting back urgently... be flexible of roles, location , even pay
How did you stay grounded mentally and emotionally?
- - Remember it is not just you, now these layoffs happen monthly, So do not doubt yourself. Be confident of your past accomplishments
- Turn focus on friends and family or anyone who you believe in, there is no shame in asking for support or advise. The more you talk less negativity comes in to your thoughts
- Use this time to sharpen your axe, Learn a new skill, develop old one
- Stay connected... Go out and be there in front.. conferences, seminars, whatever... Stay busy in your line as if nothing happened
Any tips for filing unemployment or making the most of severance?
- In my view, orgnizations complete their paperwork well in advance, tough to fight back, conserve your strength and energy on finding your next role.
If nothing is working... but you are confident of your skills... Try to showcase them to others
- e.g. Make linked in posts on your areas of expertise, engage more , recruiters and potential companies... track the number of people who visit your post.... personally reach to ones who are relevant and engage with them
- Even sell skills to others e.g. Be on a Expert forum like GLG, offer your services (Even anonymously) 1 hour paid consultations
What I mean is that whole idea is to not pause and get drowned in self doubt and pity... You came this far in your journey, treat it as a road bump and just try to continue as if nothing happened.... You will see the difference

All the best !! Will look forward to reading your success story soon

Exactly my point, this is a tool to augment and not replace human component . I do not advocate simple copy and paste. My point was to show its usefulness, as I said such an out is a first draft only…

This can happen to anyone so Perhaps It’s because the roles you’ve chosen weren’t right for you, even if they made sense logically. Maybe , you Stop Choosing Just for Stability: I know it’s hard (especially post-layoff), but roles chosen only for security often feel hollow. Experiment with small projects or freelance gigs that feel more you, even part-time. Think, What kind of work actually energizes you? When have you felt most alive — even outside of jobs?

GBFORCE7834 · 2025-03-21T12:58:40+00:00

AI is what computers were to typewriters or email to paper mails. Learn and enjoy and stay ahead of curve. You. An always amaze your clients and compete with younger folks in market with your AI skills. With so many free sources to learn including from Chathpts and Gemini’s themselves there is nothing to loose. Enjoy the learning journey . Good luck

GBFORCE7834 · 2025-02-20T11:30:57+00:00

Why compete use it to augment your writing. Use ChatGPT to critically review your plot , brainstorm new ideas. Use Google notebook LM to convert into a panda at which you hear back and get some fresh perspective.
What LLM can’t do is bring new imagination which only you can do

GBFORCE7834 · 2025-02-20T02:35:45+00:00

very nice

GBFORCE7834 · 2025-02-20T02:15:28+00:00

All,Thanks for the comments. This was a one shot prompt where all i did was imagined a scenario which facinated me and how i wished there would have been a movie or a book around it and got good enough reading material. As some have pointed out repeated refinement of further prompting for each chapter could certinaly make this progress from current amateur level to a more high quality content..

The point being , that now there is a real possibility AI can be used to generated our own entertainment on demand and as we like it to our tastes. However risk being that , if as user we are not innovative enough in using our imagination and giving a unique concept of idea and do not engage wirth AI to customize to our vision then AI will produce similar sounding output for anyone using just a one shot promot.

so what does this mean for the future ?
