Why You Worked So Hard for a Job You Don’t Want Anymore

A small clarity check-in for when effort no longer matches fit

You put in the hours.
You earned the title.
You built a career that looks good on paper.

So why do you feel like you want out?
Why do you start the day tired?
Why does the job feel heavy instead of meaningful?

It is not because you are ungrateful.
It is not because you are confused.
It is because what you worked so hard for no longer fits what you want next.
