The health effects of stress are pretty insane, I actually had to stop hacker ranking the other day because I noticed my blood pressure would shoot up by about 10 points.
No faang offer is worth dropping dead
- sydthrowaway 5y agoMaybe FAANG just selects for people who can handle the stress of Leetcode?
- ClikeX 5y agoThis is exactly why I opposed any sort of leaderboard idea at my previous job. Work can be stressful enough. Let's not make it any more than it needs to be.

I've noticed training cardio helps me handle anxiety better, both because I can better handle the physical effects when they arise, and the training itself removes anxiety I'm feeling at that moment.
