I feel life has taken a nose dive ever since leaving university. I have a lot more freedom, time and money but I’m suffering mentally because I just work all day then workout at night. Any thoughts on how to turn this around? Should I leave and try my own startup? Or travel the world and make YouTube videos? TC 220k
Find a partner
A partner isn't going to magically stop you from being miserable. Gotta figure out your own shit first

It’s called post college depression. You gotta find a new life of friends, hobbies and passions outside of work. You will be fine young padawan.
It’s gotta be right
Haha partly my teammates are all older and it’s remote so I feel disconnected
It’ll get worse if you don’t find hobbies (to the point you’ll have existential crisis). Try online games, outdoor activities, Lego building sets, traveling, cooking, anything that makes you happy. It’s usually easier when you spend money, take cooking classes, workout classes, watch all the new movies. Take breaks, relax, it’s not a race and things are fine as long as you’re happy.
Go have fun. Don't take career *too* seriously. Find a job with more flexibility so you have time to discover your passions. Make a list of things you want to do/achieve and separate into short/medium/long term. Start doing short term this weekend and plan steps for medium term. If you need a change of pace I challenge you to: 1) sign up for a class for a new skill/hobby 2)sign up for meetup.com and go to 1 meetup a month If you want to say fuck it and quit go buy a 1 way ticket to somewhere and travel
People are too career focused in the Bay Area. It makes having a life outside of work hard. I often had to meet people outside of tech because techies are usually grinders going for the bag and not much else besides “hiking” which I love to joke about.
Been there, suffered a lot I found peace after traveling and doing good for others like giving back to community. regular going to homeless people and giving them some food, clothes. If you don't feel ok to give back atleast do this - Know thyself 🏖️🏞️🏕️solo travel 🧳 join hiking group.
Travel and make youtube videos but make sure people watch them 😛 Jokes apart try everything out and figure out what works for you to live a sustainable life without need abrupt jump ships and drastic changes. So experiment, It’s worth it.
