Do you know the reason for getting up everyday and working? Have you found why you wanna do what you wanna do?
Examples from TV series - Naruto wanted to be Hokage because he wanted everyone to see him, acknowledge that he exists and he is someone important.
Mike Ross in Suits wanted to be lawyer to help people because of what happened with his parents
Patrick Jane in Mentalist was a CBI consultant because he wanted to find killer of his wife and Daughter
Sheldon cooper pursued physics bcoz it made sense to him and he wanted to win a Nobel
I can only quote such examples as I haven't found real life people who have any reasons for why they do what they do apart from the reason of making money. Even here, I find most posts about making money/salary discussions. I have rarely found any post which talks about something meaningful other than money.
Disclaimer- I am not saying money isn't a good enough reason. I am trying to figure out if someone has reasons other than money.
Would like to hear why they chose the field they chose!
Because this is real life not reel life 😇
I agree. But I still believe people must have some kind of purpose. I have seen so many people who start a business simply because they want to solve a problem which they went through
Sure they have
We can connect dots looking backwards not forward
So for most people they will figure out on the way
Yes had to prove people wrong who considered me a failure when I was young. Now even their kids aren’t at my level
Damn. That feeling must have been awesome? Now that you have achieved it, What's your reason now of continuing it?
Over-time I made many friends who have different goals they helped me achieve my goals I’m helping them achieve theirs. Many are partners with me in different ventures and are successful
nope. i m happy with my mediocre life. I have accepted the fact that all our life is a lie. So better be a foool. A good fool. Just like my parents had a middle class happy life. love it. Life will happen:)
Why so negative man?
i went through the same three months ago. Could not sleep for nights. Plus it was the period I took gap for CAT. I wanted to do everything 🤣. I ve decided to cut some slack for myself. I wanted to change the world, do something of my own , I have wide variety of interests. I still want to do those things but not at the cost of my life. So chillllllled....:)
Yes, because like the Weeknd said, Kyu Darein Zindagi mei Kya Hoga? Kuch nahi hoga toh tajurba hoga.
Baat toh sahi hai. But what is your reason for doing what you are doing? Curious to know!
Interesting work on the cutting edge
No, this question is been dreading me for past few weeks. Money was a good reason in the initial stages but now i see no point.
I understand. Why not start a truth seeking pursuit towards exploring? Maybe you find something you truly want to in this pursuit. Maybe it earns you a lot less, but if it makes you happy, I don't think there's anything better! Wouldn't you agree?
Yep thats the only way.
We all saw the recent post of FAANG employee earning a lot but not happy. I am sure that must be the case with so many of us. Why do we still talk about money? Speaking for myself, I can say, more money doesn't bring happiness as much as...
Have always been curious and want to know what people here think. Which side do you lie on? Personally have always felt I work to eventually build something meaningful, to help people at scale.

In this age of remote work and layoffs, is there any company which excites you for work?
Please share why it excites you too. Looking for reasons other than money.
I have seen hiring manager that they ask for one question always. Why did you switch many jobs and also why do you want to switch now?
Do we really think managers are unaware to covid, recession and job market?
What's your take and ...
So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow cons...
Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more t...
