From a career/job standpoint, what is the difference between purpose and satisfaction?

I'm wrestling with this one myself and I'm curious if anyone here has thoughts on that. Don't hold back on the detail... brevity is the enemy of nuance. I'm open to deeper discussions.

Define purpose. Is this personal or professional?

Interesting take - essentially though that the satisfaction comes from your day job serving the higher purpose?

I think satisfaction recognizes the limitations of purpose in a career and leaves space for finding purpose elsewhere in your life (family, volunteering, etc.)

I mean within the scope of professional purpose.
