Entire Fall I said to myself. Winter is coming, the holiday season is coming... There will be less work in the office and I will study like anything... Have scheduled the interviews in Jan and now lost the motivation. No fear of failure (low tc, pathetic work) nor am I feeling the drive to strive for big tech firms.(high tc, good work, so called prestige) Has anyone gone through such a phase? Have done only 10/12 LC in 8 days. I will thank myself in the future If I could only utilize this month for revising the problems I have already solved. Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

TL;DR: find a reason or purpose to switch. Think about the reason you want to move. If the reason is strong enough, you won't need any other motivation. Does the increased TC brings something in your life that you don't currently have? Is there a deeper reason to switch than just prestige or money? You'll not put your best efforts if you are forcing yourself to do something that you're okay with not getting. The problem is that you have a choice to switch or not. It's not a life and death situation for you. I'm in the same boat as well. I haven't scheduled the interviews yet but I'd want to do it as soon as possible. The problem I think is that I have no reason to earn more than what I'm already earning. Also I know the work will become boring in new company after few months. Maybe if I had some other goals, like getting married or starting a family, I'd have a strong enough reason to earn more and to earn more, I'd have to learn more. Before getting into Apple, I didn't have a job. If I didn't get a job, I'd have to move back to my country. I had a strong reason.
Thank you, Apple. Appreciate it!
It’s fine. For some people work is just a mean to earn bread. As long as you feel you are earning enough for daily life and hobbies, no need to “push” yourself. We work for a living not live for work.

Party/relax for 2-3 days n go back to studying?
Thanks, Cisco. Will keep it as last option. Already interviews aare scheduled, can't take risk of losing more days if that won't work out.
