Upskill mode is the state of being fully locked in on self-improvement and skill acquisition — courses open in multiple tabs, YouTube tutorials queued, notebooks filling up with notes on things you're determined to master. Someone in upskill mode has made a decision, usually after a career wake-up call or a period of stagnation, that they are done being where they are and will actively build their way out. It's focused, intentional, and often temporarily all-consuming.
Went into full upskill mode after getting passed over for the promotion — three certifications in four months.
