Not sure if it is corona-related, but I’ve really started to question why I’m in advertising. So much of it is uninspiring and quite frankly, full of egos. Is anyone else re-thinking their career by switching to something that’s more in-line with their passions? Am I just chasing something that is unattainable?

Ever thought about making a slight pivot. Have you thought about trying a B2B agency? Almost no egos, lots of challenging projects, learn about new/complex industries, experience creative agency culture (or what will be left of it post pandemic) and still go home at a decent hour to eat dinner with your family or SO pretty much nightly.
I used to worship at the feet of the "hot shops" once upon a time, and gave away my nights and weekends. No more. Never been happier or more balanced in my adult life. Take control and do what's right for you. W+K and D5 can have all the shiny paperweights for the rest of time. I do not care. End of advice/rant.

Sounds like you need to realign your passion with the right job and company. Quite possibly, that place is still in our industry. Give Job Propulsion Lab’s free brutally honest career critique a go if you want something fiscally painless.
