Need to vent: I feel deeply unfulfilled in my role. I do project management in consulting (started in agency), make good $ & good WLB, but am not passionate about it and my clients suck. Job market sucks. I feel hopeless. I volunteer on the side, have hobbies, friends, but feel like my soulless job is eating away at me. Anyone have words of wisdom? 😭

Most people aren't passionate about their jobs. Most people hate their jobs but are stuck there because they can't survive without a paycheck and they can't find anything better. Be thankful you have a good paying job, family, friends and hobbies. Many of us do not have any of those things.

This is not meant to sound snarky, but please be grateful you have a job. I was laid off in July after 10 years with a company. Still applying and interviewing. Find something at work that makes you want to be there, whether it's a person or a new project. Just know I would trade places with you! Keep your head up!
