You'd be surprised how many of us sit in the same boat. I'm constantly asking myself the same question — all the time. Years ago, I wanted to work for Amazon — eventually I got there (I'm here now) and although I do love it, I'm still asking myself: "what's next?" Coming from a networking administration background, building packet processing devices for AWS has been nothing short of a dream.

But again, I'm still asking myself: what's next?

As I write this, I don't think I'll ever have it all figured out. Don't know if I will ever figure it. However, it's part of the journey and along the way, I found a lot of comfort is Susan Fowler's post: https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/5/21/life-without-a-d...

Sounds relatable, thanks. I've given the linked article a cursory glance and I'll definitely read this when I have time to digest it properly.
