Ask HN: How to get motivated after burnout
I&#x27;ve been interviewing for two months (the Leetcode variety) and didn&#x27;t get any offers. I find that when I can&#x27;t understand a piece of code, I spend a lot of time on one question. This is what happened at my last job. I often spent a lot of time figuring one thing out, and there wasn&#x27;t enough help available. It seems to take me a longer time to figure things out than other people, and it seems like most teams just expects you to figure it out and then deliver. Usually after the honeymoon period, I cannot maintain interest in anything, and even though I know I need to, I just can&#x27;t no matter what. It&#x27;s probably an attention&#x2F;cognitive issue. Anyone has experience and found a solution for that? Also, at what point do you decide that a particular career is &quot;not a good fit for me&quot; or &quot;just difficult in the meantime&quot;?
