I’ve learned how to take my work being killed in stride. Maybe... I smile and tweak and go back to the drawing board and nobody ever suspects that the whole time I want to flip the table and walk away from the industry. Will that ever go away?

Yes. It does dull. But never really goes away. Especially on jobs you have tons of heart for. We all get our work killed at every level. Having lots of irons in the fire helps. Learning to love the process is so cliche but only because it’s true. Ugh I said it.

I think the rest of the job - pay, benefits, opportunities, colleagues, environment - needs to be on point or this one becomes a bigger and bigger problem as time wears on.

It's certainly looming larger for me right now because one, two and three aren't cutting it.
