I feel completely the same. However I disagree with other ppl saying that 'your job doesn't define you'. You decide what defines you, not what they say. If your job really is your top priority, as it is for some people, and you are not satisfied, try indeed to either pick a new job or start your own company. But don't let others fool you just because you are driven and they are chill: there are passengers for every train: from express to commuter

true, but it's worth pointing out that it's possible to not be defined by your job. some people need to be reminded of that for their own good; i'd say most need to be told this at least once in their careers.

It sounds patronizing to me but I guess everyone projects themselves on others: maybe you find it as illuminating.

I’ve just seen it too many times. It is patronizing, but hopefully eye-opening, too. You can be good at your job and leave work at the office. Obvious… but not quite.
