Am I overreacting about my career?
I have never really enjoyed my life, not even once. When I became old enough to understand how the world works, I got caught up in the rat race. I switched jobs twice within two years of experience, and now I have started applying again, not just for the money but also because I want to experience perks like free cab and food facilities.
I could not crack the interview, and I am feeling sad again even though the pay was lower than my current one. Am I overreacting? Please give me a reality check. I cannot take this anymore. Because of this behavior, I have also developed sleep issues.
When I go out, I cannot enjoy time with my family. Instead, I keep thinking about when I will finally crack the job I want. I spend most of my time on leetcode, and when my family asks me to go out, I refuse because of it.

Join Infosys. They have 50 bunk beds to go sleep in. Experience perk indeed.
There will never be end to the grind but if you constantly try to suffer yourself mentally to it you will burn out and suffer. The best way is to embrace it and enjoy life during that process and be healthy even if it leads to not the optimal target as life is just not one thing but combination of all and goal post will always change but you also need to be fit to enjoy that lifestyle. Cheers
