> I graduated my CS master. I like programming but don’t love it. I get a bit scared to think about that I have to do it for 8 hours per day like I am doing now at a startup. The stress is insanely high and my performance is clearly affected when I sleep terrible (which I sometimes do) at this place. Also Is this also your first job? My experience has been: stress mostly relates to the expectations and attitudes of the people around me, rather than the technical difficulty of what I'm doing. (Technical challenges are fun, provided I get time and space to work on them). Exploring other things might be great, but if the stress is "insanely high," it might be this particular job that's the immediate problem.
