I'm not super high flyer by any means, but I basically hit my career ceiling much faster than my peers (hard work plus luck). Have been grinding my job for a bit, harvesting money, but I feel so sian about it. Most recently, good friends have just caught up with my seniority level and they're able to enjoy and savour their success. Myself on the other hand, I feel burnt out and tired. Promotions and building resume means nothing to me anymore. Before people judge and ask why I don't climb further, the TLDR is that it's not so simple. Please don't be like gov and tell me pursuing degree and upskilling will give me a better life. Careers are not saving accounts where you will get more if you put in more. I have balanced and I believe I make good choices when it comes to lifelong learning. By all accounts I'm not dong badly, but I don't get the same sense of achievement as my peers when something good happens to them career wise. For them, they are able to recognise it as the reward of their hard work, for me at this point it's just the result of doing my job, nothing to be happy about. Not really sure what's next. Many more decades to live, but not enough interestng experiences to live through.
