@schrödingcöder I definitely think there is an issue there. I am planning to resume therapy asap (I stopped during 3rd year of uni as my mental health got significantly better at that time). But even beyond that it could be that I need to take a month off to really put myself together and consider potential paths forward, maybe even talking to a career coach. Luckily my PhD offer does not expire until the end of summer and I have plenty savings from not doing anything outside of work for the last year.

@user176372 I have several times and they are mostly not very helpful if I'm completely honest. It does not help that I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life; all I know is not this and most likely not academia.

@BryanKrause I would love to have an interesting job that hopefully pays well, but so far I seem to not have any luck with it. It seems to me that in UK for industries that sound interesting to me (data science, security, quant research) all of their junior hires come from 2nd year internships and all of the senior positions come from within the industry. It genuinely feels like me having missed out on internships/grad placements made these careers unavailable to me.
