On the surface it appears you are doing too much. Nothing is going to help if you are trying to do too many things.
Do you actually need the masters degree? What's it in? What will it give you career wise?
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoThe master's is in CS, and most of the content I have covered is in ML. In theory it already has helped because it opened doors to multiple FAANG companies for interviews, some of which I regretfully closed on my own. I don't think I am doing too much. It's burnout due to lack of executive function exacerbated by lack of proper structure. As we speak I am on [retracted]. I have covered a non trivial portion of the content and made certain things just click. I think that the lack of proper executive functions along with a very problematic default mode network resulted in a situation where it is very difficult to help myself. I understand that this is not sustainable in the long term, but for the first time in a while I feel great and I managed to actually study for 2 hours without getting distracted.
