>Or if you do find your job satisfying... I work for a Healthcare company (not insurance). I don't find my job satisfying or meaningful. But I feel like what I do in my job is useful to users and stakeholders. My management layer does a good job of pushing back on pointless work. To look at this more broadly, I've worked in a bunch of different industries in consulting roles. Oil & Gas, Consumer Goods (e.g. laundry detergent),Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing, Medical Devices etc. Arguably the most morally questionable of those was Oil & Gas. However, the most and least satisfying work I did was in Oil & Gas. When the project was useful to the users and stakeholders, I felt motivated and useful. When the projects were pointless and the users didn't care I felt useless and felt like every day was a waste of my life. The whole "Oil and Gas Industry is Evil" was always there in the air, but it never really changed my sense of fulfillment or meaning in my work. I imagine every industry is the same way. Let's take a social media company. Some people are optimizing ads to better target new parents who feel lost and unsure. Some people are optimizing the data centers to reduce power consumption. I imagine some people would find a job doing the latter useful and a job doing the former as not only not useful, but harmful. I don't think I can find fulfillment or meaning in any job. But I can chose a job where I feel like what I'm doing in useful, even if it's only useful in the tiny microcosm of the context of my job.
