Thank you for this article; I am currently navigating a similar situation. I am still waiting to find myself in a sufficiently favorable position to introduce myself in this forum.
While I enjoy learning, I’m not particularly fond of examinations. Nevertheless, this aversion didn’t hinder me from earning my mathematics degree. My initial job was in the government for the developing country where I reside. In my second and current position, I briefly served as a software engineer and am currently engaged as a product designer.
One of the driving forces behind my work is the knowledge and understanding of the impact I make on people’s lives, prioritizing it over the profit generated for the consultancy firm. I feel fortunate and grateful that the startup environment has afforded me the opportunity to delve into various areas, such as operations, marketing, and shaping the company’s culture. However, hitting the proverbial ceiling brings about significant disruption, affecting not only one’s daily tasks but also one’s mental state so I can relate to your sense of losing status and achievements.
Fortunately, my love for growth prompted me to consider pursuing a master’s degree, aligning with both human-centered design experience and my Mathematics background. However, upon reflection, I realized that my goals did not align with the company’s current stage and the absence of senior management support for my career progression.
I discovered effective altruism while working on my dissertation proposal, and it’s a bonus to find a community with individuals like yourself. Thank you
