Can't take vacation, used it all for interviewing

I'm so fucking pissed off. For 3yrs I did not take a single vacation and basically carried 6 weeks of vacation to this year. Spent 3 weeks of vacation interviewing (had almost 15 onsites) and no fucking offers (that are good). So now I have to settle for the next best job and repeat the cycle of storing vacations to interview. I fucking hate this. I really need a break.

Feel for ya man. Never stop grinding leetcode I guess that way you don’t have to take vacation to prep.

3 weeks vacation pay out $$$ to cover my relocation cause my next job is a cheap piece of shit that won't even pay relocation. And I've run out of onsite interviews too.

Too scared job offer will get rescinded or some black swan event so I'm starting ASAP. The new job even though it sucks, is a big move in the right direction career wise.

If it's a big step in the right direction for your career, then it's a good job for you at this juncture Quit being a little b*tch and just kill it at your next job so you can get an even better one next time Also you shouldn't even bother interviewing with a company if you're so scared that your offer will get rescinded and you claim the job sucks

If you need the break then take unpaid days off.

I'm quitting later this month. How can I take a vacation and be happy when my job search resulted in some tier 3 position that I don't even want to work at?

If you don't stop to appreciate life and keep running towards the next shiny thing you see, there's no hope for you.

Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Are you on a visa or something?

Well hopefully you learnt, and will not put all your eggs in one basket next time. Maybe taking an actual vacation, recharging and being fresh may also help you do better in interviews.
