Hi everyone, I am currently a mechanical engineer at an architectural engineering consulting firm. My projects are in the high tech industry and it can be very difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Deadlines are constantly overlapping and it can feel very go go go with no chance to breathe. Lately I have been in a constant state of stress, feeling a pressure in my chest for a couple of weeks and all I can think about is my next deadline and what I need to do tomorrow to make sure I don't let it slip and so that I can also keep up with the other deadline a few days later.
Do you all have recommendations for industries or job types that you would consider lower stress? Deadlines will obviously always be a thing but this industry makes me feel like I am going to have a stroke by the time I'm 30 and I have only been in it a few years. I also know right now is not necessarily a great time to try and pivot, but at the very least I am looking for career paths to explore
