After a longggg search receiving an offer brought relief but also hesitation. The offer is maybe not entirely right for me but it’s also the end of a difficult process. Outside of this market I want to feel excited for a job not just like it’s good enough.

I am to the point where I will accept anything that I've applied for, and I am applying well outside of what one might consider the "perfect" job, with the intent to keep looking for a better fit. The first piece of career advice that I remember hearing is that it's easier to get a job when you have a job.

Men, how do you make yourself feel sexy and successful?

I feel like, I've dependend on my partners to validate me in those ways. But that makes me insecure & dependent on them. They loved me but idk if they "wanted/desired" me.

To feel sexy, I'm working on losing weight and then building muscle, but that'll take time and fade away with age anyway.

To feel successful, I mean... I have an OK career and savings, but I just don't identify either as success.

Maybe, I just want to feel desired.

No surprise because it was not a good interview.

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
