Hi there!

At the beginning of my journey in the field I had very very bad days. Two main reasons:

  • very bad manager (I quite after 1 year)
  • put too much pressure myself to learn a lot of things -> work too much

I've started terribly and it gets me a lot of time to recover.

I was in my tech world and nothing else! The best advice that I can give you is to do something (not coding) after your work that you enjoy! Today, when I have a bad day I know that something good is waiting for me after work! And thus, doing something else after work, help me a lot and may help me to have a good day tomorrow.

I know, it's very hard to disconnect from the tech world, but do yourself a favor for your future :)

when I have a bad day I know that something good is waiting for me after work. This sounds like a very good approach and I sometimes use it, not only when it comes to having a bad day at work, but bad days in general. True, we all need to learn how/ when to disconnect. Thank you for sharing :).
