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?

Is Time Really Passing Too Fast Now?

Because we’re doing too many things. Weekdays are slammed with work, weekends are slammed with relatives, weddings, friends, chores, functions, outings!  
  
 Even till late in the night the screens are lit up and many us forget time. But the time you look up from the screen is an hour past in 15 mins.  
  
 We should sit. Do nothing. And just notice how slow the world is. Even for an hour or couple of hours.

Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in. 

Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my hair. 

What about you all?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

I will complete 3 years as a professional soon. Quit a Big4 to join a startup for better pay and faster growth but despite putting in my best work and leading initiatives, going above and beyond all the time, my peers are all earning better than me doing similar jobs.

i never had a financially aware upbringing. my father put us through hell due to his bad decision making and despite me being very financially savvy, am unable to save any money because im so anxious I tend to spend what I dont have. i had to take up a lot of freelancing to aid my lifestyle but now im busy all the time and have no time to myself. 

idk what to do. idk how much savings my parents have since I live away from them and dad never discusses his larger financial plans with me. he also does not have a stable job even at his age even though I know he is v hardworking and does his best. i feel i will never have enough money to support my parents and myself and feel like im running out of time. also doing interviews to leave this shitty company as well which is lowballing tf out of me. im not sitting idle at all, trying to startup on the side as well. i workout, eat and sleep healthy, have a great social life. the only problem is money which im constantly worrying about. i feel its a generational curse passed down to me. I know I have 10x earning capabilities but its all so vague and uncertain. I have an amazing support system and I know I can talk to my friends about this too. just thought of coming here first

please share stories if youve ever felt this way. open to advice feedback ideas. how did you get out of it? what can I do? 

what are some business/sales roles that pay really well that I can get into as an ex-big4 analyst? i dont think my current profile translates well anywhere. f*ck this company honestly. probably the worst decision I made coming here :(

You know how when you're young and you see those dramatic movie scenes where the lead role is having a drama argument with a loved one. You feel that the argument is so pointless and illogical and hence the scene isn't very realistic. I mean why would the protagonist argue about something which basically translates to "You can't help me with this! I have to do this on my own!".

But when you grow up a bit and you get your first gray hairs - you start to realise that such seemingly irrational arguments are a part and parcel of life and probably one of the few realistic details in movies.

Given that at times we're not even able to align our fellow loved ones on important things, I do not have a lot of hope for us to be able to align any superintelligent AI. People have grown up following very different paths and trajectories with very different experiences so it becomes difficult to attain alignment. I suspect that a superintelligent AI would be so far removed from humanity and human experiences that we'll barely be able to convince it of anything on any topic.

The superintelligent AI would already have thought about (computed?) anything and everything that humanity can think about collectively. I feel that it will be very hard to convince it to change its perspective on something that has been pre-computed. 

Super-alignment problem is going to be a great filter for human civilisation.
