I’ve worked to do everything society and family have expected me to do. I’ve been so heads down on achieving my goals and now that I’ve hit them, I’ve no idea what’s next. What now?

Chase even more $$? Have kids? 25M.

True…we all may get nuked by Russia anyway so might as well embrace the debauchery until the end.

You are too young for kids. Wait until your mid 30s at least.

Enjoy your life for a little while. Travel. Learn a new hobby or sport. Do something that truly interests you that isn’t what society expects. Spend some time exploring who you want to be in life outside of goals and achievements.

This is bad advice. Have kids when you’re ready. The earlier the better in most cases.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
