Hey I am on Medialย โขย 2m
Been feeling completely stuck lately โ mentally, professionally, in every way. It feels like Iโm not learning anything new, not growing, and honestly, even the thought of applying somewhere builds up anxiety now. Earlier, I had patience โ I kept telling myself that itโll take time, things will eventually fall into place. But that patience is running thin now. Every small thing โ whether itโs trying to prep, apply, or even sticking to a basic routine โ feels exhausting. Iโm not someone who usually compares myself to others. But these days, itโs hard not to. Seeing juniors get placed, people finding direction, hearing about PPOs โ it hits differently now. No matter how much I try to avoid that mindset, it creeps in. Itโs been almost a year now since graduation โ completely out of that phase. Neither in college anymore, nor properly settled into anything. And that space in between? Honestly, it drains you. Maybe part of it was because I had a soft commitment from one of the companies for a PPO. Somewhere deep down, I pinned my hopes on that and didnโt look around seriously enough. Looking back, that feels like a mistake โ but at this point, thereโs no point dwelling on it. All of this has taken a mental toll. My routine is all over the place, stress levels are high, and career uncertainty has started affecting every part of life. I had considered internships or short-term roles, but even that feels late now. And thereโs always that fear โ what if I get something but canโt convert it into a full-time offer? It feels like that would just pull me further down. Masters, MBA โ doesnโt feel right at this point. I donโt want to jump into something just to escape this feeling of being stuck. Feels like most people around me have found some direction, some clarity. I havenโt. And that uncertainty? That weighs heavy.

Right now, it feels like there's a Bollywood movie going on in the US instead of politics. At one time, Trump and Elon were friends, but now theyโre slowly turning into enemies. But the one who's losing the most in all this is Elon himself the reason
