Thanks for the response.
4 yrs at current company, flexible job with a small team. family commitments definitely affect my ability to focus beyond my day job.
If I could summarize how I feel out of my depth. When I encounter something I'm unfamiliar with I often feel like I've limited my self and played it safe. I feel I should be diving into these uncomfortable feelings and learning new things but it also seems vast and intimidating. Which often has me questioning why I want to do this work at all in the first place?
As for a new job, I applied to some new roles recently and found the interviews challenging. Which obviously is it's own thing I need to work on.
