From the outside, it might seem like we’re living the dream.
But deep down, we know the reality:
- long working hours,
- constant pressure to deliver,
- and a career path that feels like a dead end.
And when I remember all those years pouring countless hours into studying and assignments grinding through exams, to just end up asking myself:
Is this position actually my dream job?
Where’s the work-life balance, the sense of accomplishment, the freedom to pursue your passions outside work?
Seriously, was this the dream I signed up for after all those years of after all those years of higher education (undergrad, masters or even PhD work)?
Heck. No.
