We wake up so early on weekends 😔

I got an offer from Ola Electric for a Senior Engineering role in Backend dev. Pay is good and team looks interesting too. But I am very apprehensive about their culture. Their glassdoor reviews are horrible and the recent interview in YS Bhavish gave was cringe max. I am a hard working guy, will do solid 8-10hrs 5 days a week. But it looks like that won’t be enough. One might be made to work late nights and weekends routinely from what I heard. And Bhavish saying he doesn’t believe in weekends has made me a lot more anxious. My current company is going through financial troubles. I will definitely have to move. I will get some other role though if I wait for a few weeks. Could someone working at Ola or with recent experience advise me here.

I am software engineer with 2.5 yoe and have been working remotely from the start if my career but still i feel i haven’t cracked the code as i don’t feel happy any more with life in general mind you i like the kind work i do so happy with professional life . I seek advise from the folks who are enjoying life working from home and how your routine looks like? It would be great help if am able to get relevant answers

I work at an early stage startup, I absolutely love my work and have enough learning opportunities. But still there are many things not covered by my job description, and I want to spend a couple of hours daily learning those. The problem is that since it's very early stage, there's always an overload of work and I either don't find time, or am too exhausted to focus on studying. Over the last month I've managed to carve out time for gym, but self study seems like a farther goal. How to manage? P.s. it's remote so there's no time going to commute

Not sure if anyone feels completely exhausted during the weekends. My energy levels are decent during the week but come weekends and my energy levels crash. Apart from talking to friends, I have little energy to do anything else like reading a book, working on a side-project, etc. Wanted to know if anyone else feels the same way. And if someone has been able to reverse this and have more energy on weekends.

Ever since 2020, it feels like years have passed within weeks. I can't possibly explain this in words, but for some reason, time has been passing a bit too fast. Before I realized it, my graduation was completed, someone who would seem a grown-up to the person I was before the lockdown. Festivals don't seem to make me happy now, and neither does having friends and going out with anyone...everything seems normal and everything goes by before I can process anything on my mind. Is it just me? I can't feel any emotions like I used to, is it something that all grown-ups go through/suffer with?

Any weekend plans? Is it only me who’s just sitting idle and thinking what to do during weekends, and will end up getting bored or probably sleeping? Any good suggestions?

I am a 29 YO single male. I earn decently well for my age. Lately I haven’t been feeling well. As in, life is just passing by and nothing brings me joy anymore - No PS5, No long drives, no movies or shows. Weekends are especially lonely. During weekdays, I make sure I go to my office everyday even though it’s hybrid, to avoid feeling lonely. I don’t have any female friends to talk about things deeply as most of those friends are now getting married. (you know how is it with us boys. It feels weird to share emotions or talk about life with the same sex somehow). Same for male friends. They are all getting married. Somehow, it just feels like I focused too much on my work and didn’t invest time in finding a mate at the right time. Now, on weekends, I just lay on my bed like a loser. I was never like this. I had so much drive to work, to explore, etc. But now it all seems pointless. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Would love to know if there are people out there who don’t get Monday morning blues? What excites you about the work week, has it always been this way or did you find what you love to work on somewhere along the way?
