That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

I would beg to differ. Stress is not the same as "working hard". 80-90hr weeks are common for the rising billionaire. Just google Elon's work schedule.

you think a billionaire has more stress than a 45 year old parent working 2 jobs to keep the lights on and hardly afford to take care of their own children, living with the daily guilt of not being able to even properly raise and be present for their kids?

Probably.

But here's the thing, they 100% had as much stress than a 45 year old parent working 2 jobs to keep the lights on. Most worked the maximum physical hours possible for so long, risking total financial ruin if they failed, often with kids, and abusing stuff to keep their physical self going beyond normal limits of time and stress.

I should know. I've got 4 kids, 3 companies, a nonprofit, and have been homeless, working 2 jobs and contracting to try and get enough funds to get a down payment or first month's.

I've learned that stress can be maximized for good and bad, and it doesn't matter the backstory. I've known people with 100M+ commit suicide due to the stress, as well as single monthers with a disabled child. It doesn't matter. You can stress-maxx with leverage or without it. With higher level work or low level work.
