For me, I'd love to have the freedom to work on what I find technologically challenging or important. It's been a few years since I really felt invigorated by my work. My pay is "good", but my work is boring/complicated/messy/uninspiring (typical "keep the lights on" work). Some days, I feel like I jumped back ten years in my career. I've tried to drive inspiration and challenge within my work, but it's often met with silence from my team — I feel alone and unsupported, yet my team would wholeheartedly claim otherwise.
