I’ve been at my client doing the same work for over a year. Is it wrong for me to feel “over it” and burned out even though I enjoy the type of work I do?

You are not wrong to feel this way. People want to be challenged, have variety, and do interesting work.

Unfortunately, nobody in the labor market is secure right now. So now's the time to buckle down til better times.

Yeah, I understand that. As a consultant, I like being on a variety of projects. If I'm on one for too long, it begins to feel dull.

But at least you enjoy the work rather than hating it!

Not wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s normal. I left a project like that after almost 1.5 years and my new one is definitely different. Really starting to miss the old work.

5-6 months is when I start feeling bored as Ive learned everything there is on the project

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
