“I would rather excel in something that I’m already good at, than learning a new thing and be a noob all over again, KD.”, said Rohan. “Everyone of my peers are earning more doing one thing their whole life, while I’m struggling to keep my job.”, he continued. “Now you are telling me to switch my career path, do you think I haven’t thought about that?”, said Roshan with a deep, calm and yet furious look on his face.
I fell silent. I cannot tell him a mundane quote, and hope he understands everything. I understood that he has seen and read every quote there is about self-sustenance.
I decided to start a blog to help people in this phase, as I’ve been and am in it and I’m swimming through it. And the answer is not changing your career path.
I’m fairly good at what I do, I’ve had help over a few years to hone my skills and yet, I found myself in a pit. I wanted to do something more, and I felt like my love and passion for software engineering is fading away. It had nothing to do with my company, or environment, in fact, I was at a company with finest cultures. That still didn’t help.
I started my path to finding that one thing that keeps my passion alight, only to find that there isn’t one thing. I should keep myself on my toes to start new things, gain knowledge on many facets to be good at one thing. I’m finally starting to understand what it means to have a wide knowledge base.
This blog is one of my attempts to keep the passion lit, and help people in the similar phase to find themselves. This is my attempt at building a community of people who works for a healthy near-complete “living”.
