Feels like I forget everything
Hi all, just wanted to check with this forum whether anyone has experienced anything similar to what I'm going through.
Been doing this job for about 2 years or so, I am at an extremely sweaty team (constant 9.30-3am+ on average with no down periods). I always heard stuff like "this job makes people dumber" but I really feel like it's affecting me a lot. I feel like I see and learn so many things (have a massive amount of live deal exposure) but what I remember is a very very tiny portion of that and constantly need to refresh everything. I just feel like I'm losing my mind and am also becoming extremely forgetful on the day to day. I don't remember episodes / things that happened or that I was told, while I used to remember every little detail about every conversation. This obviously also affects my conversional skills which have arguably gotten worse since I started this job. I really have become unable to listen to a story longer than 2 minutes, it's pretty terrible.
Has anyone gone through anything like this and was able to get better after changing lifestyle / sleeping more? I also wonder how I could do this as a senior even If wanted, every director / MD seems to remember details about every situation. Does it get better?
