How important is your career to you? Do you find a lot of joy and meaning in what you do? For me, it's more of a means to make money and live but I'm curious about other perspectives.

There are parts of my job I find interesting, so I don't view it as something utterly awful. That's good so far as it goes, but I couldn't say I find any meaning in it, and very seldom would there be any joy. It's a job, the purpose is to make a living, and that's fine. I do things on my own time that I find meaningful, and I suppose that's the way it is for a lot of people.

i agree with you!

If money were no object, I would probably keep my job for awhile with conditions (like more flexibility). I genuinely like it, adore the people I work with, but am a bit fed up with company politics. If that didn't work out, I would go work with a local theatre company and follow my passions!

im super bad at politics, i hate playing the game. I would come see your shows!

It's important insofar as it allows me to provide for my family and do what I'm passionate about outside of work. I don't feel some great sense of purpose every day I head to the office, and I'm okay with that. I have enough going on outside of work that I'm fine with my 9-5 being a means to an end and nothing more.

im starting to have this mindset too :)

I am a noogler, joining from MBB. I struggle to find motivation and meaning in my role (2 steps below what I used to do in MBB); my manager and I are cordial but we don’t have strong chemistry (difficult to understand each other as our thought processes are so different). I personally find some advice given by my manager unhelpful/bad/opposite of my principles. What should I do?

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.
