Episode 9
I Should Be Happy With My Career But I'm Not
Key Themes: Be True to Yourself, Your Version of Success
In this episode of The Career Confidence Podcast I will be sharing what to do if you feel like you should be happy with your career but you're not.
It may be that on paper you have it all figured out. You are in a role that sounds challenging and interesting and perhaps other people perceive you to be successful based on the role that you are in. You earn a good salary, perhaps there are some perks involved with your job. You appear to be in control of your life and that everything is going well for you.
But still, deep down, you have this niggling feeling that you are not in the right place doing the right work. You tell yourself that you should be grateful. That many people would give their right arm to be in the position. In fact, unhelpfully you might even have other people tell you how you lucky you are. Yet still, you are in but still you can not shake off that feeling.
You’re not happy. In this episode, I share what you can do next.
