WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why ‘How’s Work?’ May Be the Toughest Question to Answer · 19 Dec 2023 podcast

And so it's possible that people are also feeling this pressure to really talk up how their career is going.

And so maybe the person who sounds like they're doing so great is exaggerating a little bit.

So that's not to mean be suspicious of everybody or assume the worst about everybody, but just, you know, take the bragging with a grain of salt and don't get too caught up in comparing yourself to somebody else's supposed achievements.

And so I really can't take my foot off the gas. matched

It depends on what the purpose of the break is. matched

So if it's because you have felt a sense of burnout and you need to recharge, then the best thing to do, honestly, might be to truly unplug, kind of go off the grid a little while and don't be too plugged in to what's going on in your industry. matched

And then others consider a career break to be more of a time to build new skills, right? matched
