There’s a weird guilt loop that comes from wanting more while being “lucky to have a job.” Especially in this climate. But desire and gratitude can co-exist.
What’s something you want next in your career — even if you don’t say it out loud yet?

I feel that. You can be thankful and still aim higher. For me, I’m hoping for a role where I get to lead more and shape bigger decisions.

I want more responsibility. I crave ownership and recognition, but whenever I bring this up with management, I run into a wall. They usually say they don’t want to deal with the issues that I mention, even though there is a business need, or that it would be politically difficult to make it work with other teams. I really want my career to move away from this situation.

Thank you @BMO 1, I find it easy to land technical jobs, but whenever I apply for staff / leadership roles I'm not even picked for screening. I wish I knew better.

I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.
