I have a personalized set of 'meaningful indicators' I use to help answer that question whenever I am job searching or feeling less than thrilled about my current work. 1) Does the work have a positive impact on people in my community? (this could be a literal local community, or a shared interest community) 2) Do I feel energized by the work that is happening around me at my company? Not just what I am personally responsible for. 3) If I were to leave, would I still care if the product/mission of the company succeeded? 4) Am I making enough to support my family and provide myself with a healthy/active lifestyle? 5) Have I ever felt like I have directly contributed to, or worked for a company that has, deceived or taken advantage of its customers for the sake of profit? Outside of these questions, I feel like trying to attribute any other type of meaning to my work would leave me anxious, depressed, and perpetually stuck in the "grass is greener" situation. I am lucky enough that my current work checks all the boxes (1-4 as yes, 5 as no). With the bonus of having learn a ton and been given the opportunity for career growth multiple times over.
