Don't look for your happiness in a job or a career. You will always be chasing it. What makes you happy?

You spend the majority of your life at work. Find a job that makes you happy! Do something that when you wake up in the morning you feel energized to get to work instead of dreading the day. Figure that out and it will massively improve your life!

You're never going to love what you do, unless you literally make people tacos or ice cream or whatever. The reality is that finding a reasonably low-stress job that pays well and requires you to think (rather than a drone just filling the role) should be the goal. Something that improves you as a person and challenges you not in the amount of time you have to devote to it (like B4), but the creativity, efficiency, and innovation it demands of you.

Why can't I look for happiness in a job? It's not like I have time to find it anywhere else. And at least it won't cheat on me, stand me up, or not be there.

Don't take the whole "love what you do" thing literally. If you find a well paying job that you enjoy then that's winning at life, even if you don't "love" it.

It depends on who and when.
Early, I looked for low stress jobs that would allow me to find friends, make enough money to be fine, and enjoy some free time.
Now, with a family, I have a job that's okay, I know that it will give me what I need over a 5 yr term or so, and play the flexibility of spending time with family as much as I can.
I am happy and I will definitely make a change when that's not the case.

Manager 1 is right, you have to love what you do, then it won't feel like work. Unfortunately, for me it is not PA.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"
