Is there someone with 10 years of experience who thinks, he is miserable in his current job and dont know what he wants to do in his life?

I have done MBA from 7 years of work ex and switched into product management later. I have been struggling for the last 3 years with switching jobs every year post MBA. I am not able to find any anchor or goal. Further, wfh doesn't help either 😭😭. I was planning to connect with people who empathize with my situation, any guidance or help.

Not 10, but 6 yrs of experience and I am switching through jobs to find what I am cut out for. At one point I have thought if I should leave job setup and open my business, though not that courageous either

Definitely empathise with your situation

Let me know if you want to connect because I am also looking for some one who is travelling in the same boat

Woah... Now I feel lucky as I got the job that I love, straight after graduation [engineering] and don't want to switch. I hope you get a satisfying job.

Same boat! 10 years of work experience post MBA, quite stuck at the moment, unable to figure out the next step and it's alignment with last 10 years of career.

@Edweird_slowhen thanks for showing the support. Is your creative or did you also suffer through corporate life. Asking to learn if that helped?

I realized after 4 years of annual depression cycle and lots of debt that I can do only enough in a day.
People will keep doormating you, be it ur manager or another stakeholder. After multiple years of switching jobs and roles, nothing is worth sticking around.
After a point of time, all work is shitty because everyone in this country is smart. People want to get the best out of minimum effort.

Those who are street smart survive in this corporate era. And u cannot become one in a day Or week if you are not one of those.

I wish the best of luck to everyone who has shared all their stories and sympathized with me. God bless all of us.

I love grapevine community where you can be anonymus and still share your and other people's pain.

8 years now and two entirely different profiles, I still can't seem to like anything. I just work for the money.

Hi, I have been working in marketing for past 12 years. I switched my profile after 6-7 years of hard work in communications to the hot field of d2c marketing. I have not been able to find my anchor. I am an introvert and feel like every day is a crusade for me to show up. I love working alone tbh but realised that’s not how world wants you to be.. so figuring out.. everyday I feel like quitting but it’s my family and kids. for whom I would need to continue

I have four years of experience... I took my first sabbatical for 6 months after my first two years ... Now I think I might need another one very soon.
