So.... what if you're no longer inspired at work? I'm approaching 30 and too young to be this bored. Advice? It gives me such anxiety.

If you're bored at work try educating yourself on the latest trends within your field, but if your uninspired by your field chances are you'll find this unappealing. Try reaching out to your boss's supervisor and ask if they can mentor you. I personally knew someone who became an assistant director by doing it this way. Another thing you can do is get involved in different organizations within EY. I personally like getting involved in anything that helps me grow as a person, whether it's giving toastmaster speeches or conducting mock interviews to college students for BPN. If this doesn't work for try doing some volunteer work on the weekends. Doing what you're truly passionate about will open opportunities you didn't think were possible. Maybe the position your in doesn't afford you those moments where you can really shine, but that doesn't mean you can't find those outside of EY. I've found that everything you've ever wanted is just outside you comfort zone. That's where you'll find your inspiration. That's where real growth happens.

I lost passion for audit work staff 2 year then stayed till senior 3 year. Senior 2 year I knew I hated the work or at least I didn't love it. Legit could see myself doing the work till senior mgr. Then I networked my way out to another group and I'm a lot happier. Find the next job you want.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
