Big move and good luck with your journey ahead! It is great to hear about challenges and perspective from others that are also in the early career phase. Personally, building my confidence, finding fulfillment, creating a sustainable work life is my intention for my current work.
"Isn’t it a bit ironic that losing my first job made me realize I should try less on my next one?" I feel like this is true for a lot of people, myself included. I don't think it's a bad thing either.
Really great write up overall! Looking forward to following your journey over the next few years. It's a lot of introspection (which you've already seem to have done a bunch of) and totally worth it in the end.
This is so spot on, so much is eerily similar to how I've thought and written about it as well. Kindred spirits no doubt!
Awesome piece. Really resonated, particularly the desire to "seek consensus to justify a personal, divergent decision". Subscribed!
Congrats, Matt! Very thoughtful to make a guide that can help others. It is by no means an easy decision.
I love how you framed it as returning to the ethos of childhood. I feel that is the key to finding intrinsic motivation again!
