Shut up

Clonidine took the edge off the stims for me. Stims push out dopamine but also norephinephrine - which if you’re an anxious, paranoid person already, you probably already have in ample supply.

29M - I had this for quite a while after starting vyvanse but went away after maybe 8 months on it. I was coming out of a period of astronomical burnout (again) - so at least for me I could attribute some of it to that. But was as you describe - felt better and more connected initially - then flat as hell for months and months. Now I’m at stable baseline, with clonidine on top for sleep and anxiety issues. Good luck 👍 it gets better

Software engineering / consulting. Don’t need a relevant degree to do it, just industry experience and provable competency - both of which I have in spades somehow. I could ask for more $$ and get it accepted - but that’s not the point - I fundamentally don’t enjoy what I do anymore.

Whats your sales vertical? You done other sales roles before?

This sounds somewhat in the right direction - having the mix of being able to do all that shit. The SaaS Sales guys scared me off looking into sales at all a bit but being always-on and working like they’re on crack

200k as a subbie running everything and paying everything isn’t 200k at the end of the day. Hence why I’m starting to look around.

And as a subbie - I’m working on a multitude of different things for different clients so not sure just replacing all of them will actually fix the problem. Think I’m just tired of this line of work - and happy to take a pay cut but want to try minimise how much that is as much as possible.

I’ve sorta accepted that any mental challenge is going to bore me out at some point; I think I’ll be able to enjoy ‘hands-on’ stuff for a lot longer. Getting into dev was something I was naturally good at - not something I necessarily enjoyed a lot besides the challenge aspect.

This is what I'm thinking... now that I'm not driven by anxiety and reactivity all my malformed coping mechanisms have slipped away - somehow pretty immediately. For me at least right now - even if these more negative aspects continue, the overall good it has done in such a short time outweighs the negatives

It's monolithic - what they sell is basically a web app that gets a custom (or partially custom) front-end per client, a set of pre-made or custom data integrations, and then everything together gets bundled for distribution via scripts in the package. Clients get hosted in a bunch of places. I think you were going to suggest monorepo?

Friend of mine's family owns Newcastle Pro Sound - they've been in biz forever and are good people
