De-stress your mess

Interviewing is one of the most stressful aspects of your career; some of that stress and anxiety can be mitigated with practice and preparation.

While many companies these days are still accepting remote work, it won't be much longer until the industry returns to what it pretends to be normal. These tips work great for virtual interviews but should help you out if you are in person as well

Causes of burnout

  1. Sedation Spending too much time in one place, staring at the same things day-in-day-out.
  2. Stress Programming is high-stress, high-mental energy. This can lead to mental breakdowns, depression, anxiety, etc. Don't be afraid to talk to a professional. It is especially useful to find a professional with experience with programmers if possible.
  3. Monotony kills. Try to do smaller tasks and order tasks to prioritize variety and change.
  4. Isolation. Talk to your friends, family, etc. regularly--even if it can only be virtual.
