My 3 year old kid was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. She has trouble with transitions, has meltdowns and gets overwhelmed in public places like stores. Grabs and wants to cling on us and needs constant attention. Also very picky eater and has trouble falling asleep.

What can I do ? Should I try to minimize clutter and reduce screen time? Has anyone experienced it themselves or have anyone close they dealt with? What are some workarounds to make parenting easier and keeping my sanity while working a high pressure job? I feel very tired and can barely get any work done ( work from home) .

I recently received a coveted job offer as an engineering manager but I am so exhausted that I am planning to turn it down and stay an IC to concentrate helping my kid.

The majority of young tech professionals in the US are trying to retire early? Don’t see people in other professions or older age groups (>35) as obsessed by it. How did it come to be that people want to peace out early and will rather burn themselves out at 32 to do so? Is it anxiety or financial insecurity?

Most startups and Silicon Valley firms are on hiring freeze and laying off . Job openings are plenty in non-tech companies most of them requiring SAP ABAP and SAP functional knowledge . How does one go about learning or falling into that ? Those jobs seem to pay pretty well ( without the RSUs)

I feel burned out and every one of my friends and coworkers I have talked to are feeling burned out.

Having a kid, covid , war in Ukraine and now recession and layoffs have left me fatigued and I can barely learn anything new or look forward to anything .

All I want to do is look at my phone and consume more content.And I look back fondly to 2001-2007 and also 2010-2017. Do I need therapy or is everyone feeling the same ?
