Took a full day off in the middle of a job search and felt guilty the entire time
#burnout#job-search
Three weeks into applying and interview prep, burned out enough that I just didn't open my laptop for a whole Saturday. Spent it doing nothing related to job hunting. Felt weirdly guilty the entire day, like I was falling behind people who were grinding LeetCode while I wasn't. Went back to it Sunday actually able to focus instead of just staring at problems. Anyone else have to talk themselves into rest during a search, or is that just me overthinking a day off?

AnonymousAnon The guilt is so real. I started blocking rest days on the same calendar I use for applications, made it feel like part of the plan instead of a break from it and the guilt dropped a lot.
