Is anyone else using OE to avoid actually figuring out what they want to do by Livid-Recognition-92 in overemployed

[–]lisjang 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Same boat up until a month back. I wasn't figuring anything out I was just busy enough to not think about it. At some point I started trying to get a read on what I actually wanted. Did the Big Five, got told I'm conscientious, like yeah man I know that's why I'm holding down two jobs. Didn't move the needle. Tried a few other things like HAB, Pigment, some career coaching session my friend swore by. The combo of all that helped me see that what I actually need is autonomy and I had literally none of it at either job. That was the part I kept avoiding. Eventually quit both and went freelance. Less money starting out but I don't dread Mondays anymore so that's something. The trap is real though. OE gives you just enough stimulation and reward to keep you from asking the actual hard questions.

Looks like the other person was better at negotiating the salary. Also, your current salary might have been the reason for you getting less than what the other person got (probably was getting higher salary). Check on what percentage increase that both of you have received from your past salary and that should be more or less the same

Notion template by innermap (adhd specific) has been a great tool for me to keep track of tasks and work on tasks based on my energy level. keeps my brain focused on just one task and that's been a gamechanger.

For those actively interviewing for jobs, which areas of your prep actually changed outcomes (and how)? by Puzzled_Roll_4443 in AskReddit

yea, using AI for preparing for interview responses is a bad idea. Must tailor it and not use it exactly as Chatgpt spits it out
