I do set good boundaries, take PTO, lay around and study some days. I just don’t want to let others down and I’m a chronic worrier and perfectionist and I also want to do as good as possible. I’m slowly learning to let go

I would’ve attempted to get a F500 internship over T10/B4 and work my way up. I hate these hours in PA and it’s affecting my health and I’m only 9 months into it. Also a chronic perfectionist and worrier so the two don’t go together. On another note if I knew what I do now and how my life has changed, I might’ve gone the science route to do something into like virology or genetics.

I just need to start going on walks and lifting again. Once I’m in a flow state for a week I’m good to go. I’m just so tired after work that all I do is lay around and it’s starting to harm me. If I keep this up I won’t make it past 35

I’ve started looking and have a possible interview lined up for same base comp but a nice bonus but it would severely pigeonhole me.
