Have you ever wondered if you’ve screwed up your career path? Like, say for example you were working somewhere that you loved initially, and then circumstances changed, and the job got so unsatisfying that you had to find a new job. And the new job sounded like a really good deal, a chance to exercise your skills, to help your new company find success in a new arena, to sharpen your business mindset. And the job was really good to begin with, and you had amazing colleagues with some really interesting work. But then you found yourself doing less and less of the tasks you were interested in, and more and more of the things you had hoped to leave behind in your old job. You couldn’t step back. You couldn’t take stock. You started getting worried. You started getting nervous. You stopped loving work and started fearing going in, because you felt that every victory was met with five more crises that you had no control over. So you start looking for jobs again. But everything you see advertised you play over and over in your head, reading up on the companies and realising that they’ll be just as corporate and restrictive as any of the roles you’ve worked before. You realise that you’re not suited for working in an office, in a corporation, in the modern world. You begin to worry that you’ll never be able to move on, either by lack of opportunity or fear of letting your colleagues down.
