No. I was extremely driven for the first half of my career.

  Maybe you got unlucky. Your original post did mention "freedom from the quarterly demand for metrics" which I don't see as driven from a company perspective. Companies and teams have complex sets of overlapping goals and generally you want to align what you do with those goals. Many of those goals are disjointed from what one would consider necessary for company success. If your boss wants quarterly metrics to go up for their own promotion then you're not going to get promoted by not making those metrics go up.

    You're not going to get promoted anyway. No one hires from inside the company, not in the uk anyway.
