Im relatively new to the industry and in the corporate world. I feel like the starry eyed kid in me is going away. I feel like im becoming jaded. Less focused on impact to the world, more on performance reviews, promo, career etc. I feel like maybe blind has played a role in this too. Anyone else in the same boat?
I remember feeling the same way after starting work in a big old IT company. I moved to Google thinking it will be better but it is still more or less the same kind of corporate bs. 5 years later, I am still as jaded but at least I have more money in my bank account now.
The honeymoon phase is going away. You’re seeing the corporate world for what it truly is and asking yourself “if you remove all the glitz and glamour and perks, do I even like this job?! What about it do I like?! I need more TC and promo 🤬” After spending all that time studying, interning, interviewing and finally got into that “dream” company.. you’re asking yourself if all that sacrifice was worth it. We’ve all been there.. welcome to beginning of quarter life crisis.
Damn
Is there any solution?
