I had a very varied career - great jobs in many fields, lots of overall success from the group efforts across four distinct companies and govt institutions. Honestly, while I was successful, I always felt I was punching upward in every role except my last. I was respected but always exhausted. I was doing things just outside my wheelhouse. So I grew a lot but dumped much time into my career. My last job was a 18 month contract data science / data engineer position. Part of the previous punching up did prepare me for the final job, as well as a late career MS Operation Research degree. So the final job was the best. The youngsters I worked with were impressive, respectful to me, the contract role had little baggage, the technology fairly state of the art (not FANG), overhead was light. I was able to own an effort from start to finish. I do think I may have worked a little too hard on my career, but it was one with reward.
