There was a season in my life when I was applying everywhere. Every government role. Every bank opening. Every “six-figure potential” opportunity. Every certification that promised upward mobility.

Bandwagons, Burnout, and the Discipline of Looking Inward There is a particular kind of anxiety that grips immigrants and ambitious professionals. It whispers: You are behind. You need to catch up.
