This year I'm admitting that my dream job was actually someone else's dream
I got the job I thought I wanted about a year ago and I've been miserable the entire time. I'm actually doing fine performance wise. But I just don't care about it the way I thought I would. The work that was supposed to feel important just feels like work. The problems I'm solving don't interest me. The day to day reality is nothing like the vision I had in my head.
I've spent the last few months trying to figure out what went wrong and I think I finally realized the issue. This was never actually my dream job. It was a job that sounded impressive when I talked about it. A job that made sense on a career trajectory.
My resolution for this year is to figure out what I actually want, not what I think I'm supposed to want. Even if it's less impressive or makes less sense to other people.
