Triggers include country or job changes; concrete tactics that work are to record calls to produce accurate minutes, keep a list facts vs feelings, save positive feedback screenshots and set small biweekly goals. These practices reduce late-night overwork and social isolation; evidence includes repeated hiring, salary raises, conference acceptances and applause despite ongoing doubt.
