Sounds like missing Job Satisfaction? Research into job satisfaction says those who perform 'Job Crafting'[1] at their jobs i.e. "the physical and cognitive changes individuals make in the task or relational boundaries of their work" tend to say that they are much more satisfied with their jobs. May be jobs at FAANG have become strictly defined that job crafting is not possible anymore? > I can't connect my work to people I care about. May be you can take a look at Social Good startups which tend to work closely with the reasons you care about and contributing to society as part of the work is generally associated with higher job satisfaction. Or, you just look at the problems which need solving[2] and try to solve the ones which resonate with you[3].
