I think it’s difficult to discover your “life purpose” while still working full time. Unless you’re anomalously lucky to be exposed to various subfields at your job, it requires a fair amount of leisure and self-directed tinkering (months to years).

I also suspect this process requires a baseline level of comfort and freedom from stress but can’t say authoritatively.
