Love to do? No. But I’ve found some things I’m good at that are useful and I don’t seem to get sick of, and after that what seems to matter more is the people you work with.

Ultimately even if you like a job it’s still a job, and the widely promoted notion of passion rarely holds up.

It’ll suck up much less if you know your real passion is outside of work. Instead of stressing about getting a staff engineering title, I enjoy senior and make some money to simply support that passion :)
