There's so much about my current job I thought would be different, heck, there is so much about life I thought would be different but that's a different conversation. I know the right answer is to maybe look for a new job and try to stay positive but it feels especially like an uphill battle today. How do you deal with missed expectations and disappointment?

Sorry to hear that, I've taken the stance that the job doesn't need to be fun and enjoyable. I get paid to do a job and I do it well. Then shift my focus to enjoy other parts of life. It's not the perfect answer, I also feel same to you but it helps to take pressure off of feeling constantly negative

Thank you for your response. I agree 100% and I think its the mature view that work isn't always enjoyable. At the end of the day it is work for a reason haha

What I do with missed expectations and disappointment is that I focus on my small wins and I also talk it out to others.

I am waiting for the market to calm down and then go back to applying.

I have stopped thinking too much about it because it takes a toll on me. I am giving myself some time before making a big move

I would say focus on the small achievement and being grateful for what you have achieved so far
