I imagine answers to this vary wildly between sectors and the combination of pay, social status, project work, perceived impact, work/life balance, and more add up to very different outlooks

Folks who describe themselves as being "in tech" are often super driven people, passionate about making an impact on the world. So we put a lot of our existential eggs in the career basket.
I'm wondering if some of the current dissatisfaction is coming from our careers not meeting those needs?
