I like my work, sort of a workaholic and kind of an over achiever (not trying to show off or be a narcissist).
My boss literally told me to get an offer elsewhere and he will match it, he got me a promotion and a 40% hike.
But I hardly find the motivation to search for jobs.
I'm a good problem solver, but I find the whole interview and selection process in the IT industry very systematic.. they test on concepts which hardly get used at work on the ground level.
If i grind for a couple of interviews I would certainly get a good offer and get retained at my company, but I don't find the motivation to job hunt and prepare for interviews.
I participate in all my company's innovation initiatives and hackathons. Won a couple of them.
I love sharing knowledge, and I don't limit myself to any role, I can work as a Product owner, tester, dev, support engineer, and often contribute to a lot of forums within my company.
I'm not that into money. Everyone I say this too tells me to give my money to them if I don't want it. Lol.
So I'm convinced that I'm not being practical..
Is something wrong with me? I agree that I deserve more, but should I do something about it?
I also suppose that I'm in a sort of a comfort zone which is preventing me from preparing for interviews.
Thanks for reading this, I'm open to sincere thoughts as well as jokes.
