I turned 30 last year and I suddenly felt a shift in my life. I have a good paying job that I love with lots of stability. I’m single, living alone and I spend my free time either studying to acquire more certifications that are related to my job functions, hiking for an hour on the weekend, exercising daily, and sometimes I play video games.
I have everything I need on a professional level and I’m satisfied with that, but I feel that there’s something missing and life is just going by.

I’m happily married. Life is busy with work and kids and family, so I make sure I carve out free time every morning. I get up at five to run and workout and then have a quiet breakfast. On the weekends my wife and I do a lot of running around together or I stay home and work around the property
Married with a kid, another on the way. Working internationally and debating either obtaining a PhD or, making a career pivot. I have a decent paying job that was my dream job in a lot of ways before, but I got promoted and started a new role that brought me into much more contact with upper management, more responsibility and work, without support or a raise. I find it really exploitive. I wish I could go back to my old position, but can’t back out without creating an equally difficult situation for my myself. So, I’m probably going to step out after finishing part of my contract instead of snapping and burning bridges.
I went from having a ton of time with my family and able to enjoy life, to being constantly underwater trying to finish out of scope projects. When I asked for more time/ resources, I got shut down and basically told that I was making too big a deal out of it. I realized that the management knew that the situation I inherited was fucked, and that I had been misled when taking it.
Looking to relocate out of the country I’m working in, but international job postings were really disrupted by COVID, so we are probably returning to the US. Currently waiting on incredibly slow processing from USCIS for my spouse.
