Last year, I moved from a large faceless corporation to a startup. For the twist in this story, at the startup I got exactly the way you feel. I had no motivation. Everything was easy, everyone was amazing, the benefits were great, but I was just so bored.
After 7 months, I went back to the large corp. I really enjoy what I do here and I'm now in a new role that I enjoy even more.
I guess my point is: you're bored. You don't care about your work because you don't care about it. Go find work you care about, something that excites you.
- rodolphoarruda 9y agoIt's interesting to read this because my experience was completely the opposite: the startup days were really exciting, especially when we were designing and creating things from scratch using the best of our intelligence/intuition. A couple of years later I moved back to the corporate world of large international IT companies. I felt bored to do things that were forethought, designed and/or implemented by other people. I freaked out to see gaps in processes, inefficiencies in general and could not fix them because it was not my job to do it.
