- Experiencing severe burnout after years of non-stop work and constant thoughts about work.
- Built a startup this year, but despite efforts, it didn't take off, leading to exhaustion and indifference.
- Feeling unemployable due to a generalist skillset and the inability to delegate in a startup environment.
- Grateful for mentors but acknowledges their guidance has limits; personal effort is crucial.
- Faced numerous rejections from VCs and accelerators, contributing to a sense of defeat in the tech industry.
- Engaged in extensive efforts including blogging, newsletters, user interviews, and product development, but now feels unable to continue.
- Reaches a point of exhaustion where all efforts feel pointless, with no visible light at the end of the tunnel.
