6/10 Total. Rationale:
3/4points Pay feels fair
1/3points surrounding people are funny, interesting, or mentors
1.5/2points difficulty of work is matched to me
0.5/0.5points purpose of work is meaningful
0/0.5points I exercise creativity
I wish I did more than just sit in my chair all day and look at incorrect printf statements and compiler errors. I want to try fun things that I have to be creative about, like marketing or sales or video editing. I don't want to be a programmer my whole life. But I don't even know where to start. It would be nice to be paid to learn at other places too.
