Bored of everything š¶āš«ļø
I am comparatively smart than my peers. Not out of ego, but a bit of self confidence. Started as a mechanical engineer in 2019 with 5k salary, went into SaaS sales, then consulting, then did my MBA, again went back to Operations, then went into product marketing and now into Product management. I am in a decent place at my life, I am content with salary I am getting. But I clearly know it is not enough for my skillset. Getting in the range of 10 to 12 LPA. But lately I feel bored of my work and life, I donāt know is this what I really want to do for next 20 years. Is like only this? Is there something else for me as a dream career? I want to wake up to something I really love and be in a flow state š Is anyone going through this kinda state? Has any legends been in same phase and came out? Any hacks or mental models.
Bhai khud ko smart khene wale smart nhi hote
Then why would you tell that you are the best candidate in a job interview? Are you really the best?
I told I am comparatively smart, not the smartest in the worldā¦read it first buddy
@Crentist_Schrute I honestly feel you are the smartest I also wanted to be one like you once upon a time
Waise would you give me some tips on how to get into sass sales also would you like to hang on with me over coffee we can discuss more about sales/ products / etc?
Bte how old are you?
Try joining a more challenging startup?
This startup is challenging enough. But somewhere I feel, I am just a fancy project manager. There is room for growth, but idkā¦weird feeling, maybe it is internal.
Ahh got it. Happens to a lot of managerial positions. Because they are not builders who are actively building something, it feels like the work they are doing is less effective or not moving the needle enough.

Thanks buddy. I am from bangaloreā¦are you guys here?
Do they have something similar for Mumbai?
I think youāre looking at it the wrong way. Jobs might or might not be interesting, and honestly, that part isnāt always in your control. For most people, work is the boring bitāthey find their fun outside of it.
Whatās in your hands is your life beyond work. Try new things. Set different milestones. Start a family, raise kids, run a marathon, trek a mountain, or pick up new skills like playing an instrument, scuba diving, or surfing.
In short make your life fun. Work will rarely be the fun part.
Yesā¦.I surely agree to your POVā¦.I also am in constant search for thatā¦I like movie making, sports etcā¦But as daily time passes, work is eating up majority of the chunkā¦ So that was the whole point of this postā¦where do I really wanna work this way? What you suggested are kinda hobbies or add ons in lifeā¦But my main point was, I want my work to give me the energy or the flow state where my work is funā¦Idk, it is hard to explainā¦hope you got the jist
Same feeling bro , from so many years feelings the same
What are you doing regarding itā¦how do you cope up and plans?
Since we don't have any source of income . I am just working for it. But will not leave of doing some buisness instead of working under someone
I had a similar feeling, started my own startup eventually. It's a challenging and rewarding experience but not for everyone.
Iām also having same thoughts. Been working on an idea, only on paper and have sketched some ideas. But every-time I feel, am I even ready, what if I failā¦all doubtsā¦kinda trickyā¦thanks for reply :)
@Bhidu I remember you once said that you changed more than 10 companies in 10 years but why?
If you are smart enough, you should have figured it outš kidding. Maybe there is something specific you want to achieve at work and personal life too. If there is something you want to do in your personal life focus on that. Everyone's job is not exciting as it seems. Good after work which you feel is challenging, prior to that focus on personal goals too then switch jobs.
Also focus on your physical and mental health always .
Haha nice roast. Thanks for advice.
šš But my advice is sincere. BTW I'm also in Bangalore
Iām opening a Cafe shop soon, as I feel thatās the only AI proof job forever, and i can very well decide my earnings, and I donāt have to answer to anyone. I can just get up in the morning, say itās my day again, enough of this corporate bullshit
My cousin did the same thing. He is earning well, but he has got backing from his dad and mom. But I agree to your povā¦opening a business that runs always and many years to go, is the thing.
I feel the same way br9
