You need a coach.  
  
 Coaches help you structure not just your thoughts but it also your operational approach.  They'll also help you discover blindspots and more importantly be a sounding board for you. 
  
 I suggest you invest in one.

I agree with the idea. I invested in one last year but had very bad experience. Any suggestions on how to find a good one?

Founder

Suggest you draw up a list of wants - typically industry / ops experience, their specialist niche (industry, level, etc).  eg You may not want a CEO coach for someone who is the Head of Engineering.   
  
 Sniff around their public persona (YT videos, blogs, tweets, substack).  It gives you some insight into how and what they think. 
  
 Take a test drive.  3 sessions as a trial.  Whats important is do you trust them enough to be honest & open with them.   If you don't find that "vibe" you're not going to make the most of it.

Last year, during this time of year,  I had a ops job and I was very stressed. I was scared of office calls. I knew that job was not for me. This year I don't have any job. But I will be joining so...

Last year, during this time of year,  I had a ops job and I was very stressed. I was scared of office calls. I knew that job was not for me. This year I don't have any job. But I will be joining somewhere in few days. It is an okayish place. But I still am not happy. There is lesser but constant stress like last year. 
Maybe my frustration was because I was not able to handle the situation in my last job and not because of the situation I was in. And I still feel that way. What should I fix? How?

Deja Vu of stress

Deja Vu of stress- Grapevine

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I recently changed my job, 3-4 months back.
It was a hard time finding a good job profile with good offer, after almost a year of searching amd giving interviews i found my current job. Luckily, my interviews were very good and i was offered more than what i had asked.
After joining team, i realized that they are looking to prepare for some regulatory changes and my role was pivotal in that. I kind of got to work and contribute on my own and my manager and his boss liked me. I was getting set but then last week, company announced some changes in top leadership and my manager's boss got a new boss. Now this guy seems little tricky and i don't know what all changes he would bring. As of now he seems to be sure of expanding the team/work that i do (related to regulatory stuff).

Now, these changes has got me a bit nervous. And i am kind a bit afraid about my job and its future. This is causing me stress. Any ideas or thoughts that can help me navigate.

How to handle changes, stress and fear of getting fired

Equity Research

Sometimes I feel like quitting the job and be relaxed and happy. Am fade-up with office politics, too much work pressure and moreover from this Indian mentality at work. Want to get rid of all this nonsense but I can't leave without a job, because for me it is keeping me engaged rather than a boring life without a job, even money also matters in this expensive lifestyle.

I am feeling frustrated from work stress and politics, what to do?

Human Resources

For the last 2 months I have been trying to go to the gym and take care of my health but every week something or the other comes up and I'm working more than 14+ hrs sometimes. 12 hrs is average.


Every time something is going on in my mind around my work or performance or layoffs and a lot of things.  

I'm frustrated. Can somebody tell me what should be the best way to handle this?

Because of this I have high anxiety and also not getting proper time for personal life. 

I also feel a lot demotivated sometimes , thinking that why I'm working till 2am and for what?

Frustrated and Stressed: Mind Fog

Data engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

It’s been 11 months since I joined my first job. Being from an IIT, I only did DSA in college and got this job paying a decent 20lpa base salary. But when I first joined here I was put at bench for the first 6 months. I always used to ask for work but got very vague work of writing python scripts. Finally I was put in a project but the work mostly involves utilising python and MATLAB. I have started doing DSA again and learning MERN stack. I am applying to a lot of jobs but apparently my resume is not getting shortlisted anywhere. I want to make this switch but my biggest fear is that if I will be able to get an offer which matches this salary. Any advice how to get out of this situation ?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Please tell me if there is any survival kit to survive the layoff. I am a Product Manager and have been laid off yesterday. Since then I have been panicking and feeling anxiety all the time. I am trying to be calm and handle this with all my patience but I am failing into this. I feel lost, confused, and shattered. Even breathing feels like a task right now. I can sense my heart rate going fast. 

Is it normal to feel this way?

Survival Kit After Layoff

1. Visit crematorium one day and you will realise all this is bullshit 
  
 2. Spend some time going to slum area and you will understand people can be happy in 10k earning also 
  
 3. Visit stores operated by handicapped and you will understand how much lucky you are

Product Manager

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand.

Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it.

But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry.

If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength

I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it

Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.

Strange work anxiety

Was laid off, took a pay cut to join this (maybe desperation took better of me)
Now the workload is too much, the founder cracks disrespectful jokes, and vibes are just too off

I am not enjoying the work
I was detesting going to work the first Monday itself 😔 

This is also not aligned to how I imagined my life, off the track really

Should I resign?

As asked in the title. During office timings, I am really anxious to the point that I am unable to relax during lunch breaks as I am afraid I will get a message or a call that I might have to jump into. I know it sounds stupid, but I spend nearly 10 hours everyday with crippling anxiety. It has become so bad, I am considering quitting to work on myself just to get rid of this anxiety. However the Current market scenario doesn't allow me to me do this. I have asked my friends and family about this, but everyone says 'don't quit', 'work hard' Etc. I am sick of hearing this.

How do you deal with the crippling anxiety for WFH?

Project Manager

Finished one year at my job, SDE-1, CTC-12LPA.

Learnt pretty much all I could from here- and they didn't give us any raises this year. I need to move out, since I feel the stagnation seeping in. I've given only one interview before in college placements, so I'm fairly daunted by shifting to another place.

I feel fairly hopeless since I'm completely out of touch with your standard DSA stuff. I need to start somewhere, some sort of planner or something to get me started.

I get that my problem really isn't as big as it seems, and it's all in my head, but with each day that passes with me not doing anything, I fall deeper and deeper down. Looking for advice. Thanks.

Depressed about where to go from here.

After 7-8 months at my new job, I've been increasingly anxious, affecting my sleep. I'm constantly worried about making mistakes, even when they're not my fault. Recently, my manager rebuked me for errors that weren't mine, and since then, ge has just gone silent with me and he has just sideined me. The situation is making work and life challenging, with random outbursts adding to the stress.
Company culture is also very toxic after layoffs and everyone just keeps on blaming each other.

How to handle this situation?

Feel Anxious about going to work everyday

I have landed into PIP and I know everyone will be like, look for another job which I anyways will
My boyfriend and I are planning to get married and he has already done a one day resign due to the job security issue in his firm

We both are actively looking for a job but no luck

I would be more than happy if anyone can help us out with this

Too much stress

Having a lot of stress and anxiety in life currently (see company name). What are some good options for therapy in Bangalore or online. Have tried rocket health but somehow it's not clicking. A few years back I used cult fit but they no longer do therapy it seems.

Good therepy options

If you mess up on a client engagement and can't finish a task properly? What happens ? What are the repercussions? I'm a fresher and I don't know what to do anymore ? Is this normal ? It's only been 7 months here , I'm a campus hire and I feel out of my depth? Seniors don't help that much as they're too busy? My anxiety is really high and I don't know really know what to do anymore.
Any tips advice would be helpful?

Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance. 

I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety.

Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a mental health therapist for as long as I can.
