“And while I wish I could say I was shocked, I’m not. The first time, I was six months pregnant and flooded with sadness and self-doubt. This time? It’s more of a quiet madness — the kind that comes from realizing that no matter how dedicated, how available, how badge-in-office-present you are, sometimes it’s just not enough. Especially in this job market, especially in recruiting,” she continued.
She expressed that her experience showed that being exhausted doesn't make one safe, loyalty doesn’t ensure stability, and overachieving may only accelerate the inevitable. She also revealed that amid all the hardships, the one thing that helped her keep going was her resilience.
How did social media react?
A recruiter posted, “Girl, YOU are amazing, and I’m hiring a recruiter right now! WFH but Austin-based. Send me a message with your resume, and we can chat.” Another added, “I have felt these exact feelings; remember to stay positive and maintain your self-belief. Good luck in your search.”
