I’m going to counter the other response you got slightly.

No, work doesn’t have to be soul crushing and you don’t have to be on a constant state of burnout.

For me, the industry I’m in and the product I’m building are the most important part of my job, boss and coworkers being second most important. If I were simply trying to sell more ads or building a product that survived on ad revenue, I would have burned out years ago.

Instead, I’m building a product that helps actually improve people’s physical being and, in turn, their lives. No, it isn’t selling a product but providing a service.

Seeing our end users live a better life makes dealing with corporate bullshit and meetings on meetings easy to deal with. I love what I do and enjoy it even if I’m frustrated from time to time.
