Need Help - I feel so stuck

Hi jimi44,


Glad you shared … it really helps to hear from people who have been in similar situations.


And as Kate pointed out - it is kind of hard thing to swallow that all my peers are becoming Directors/VPs … and this is my chance: and I do not feel passion for my work anymore! AND one of my trusted friends asked me yesterday - Am I insane? Yeah, I have that doubt too!


I had always felt that one can make a difference if one is in a decision making position … but I am not finding satisfaction with the nature of work itself is what I am realizing lately. And, as mentioned I really like to take pride in work otherwise I feel “life” is not good!


Oh well, I am still interviewing (first one) this evening. Gotta have some fun even if I decide to not take the position.

I think these are the Ten Rules gonnif is talking about.


IBM uses FUD with a completely different intent though - to increase sales and create doubt about competitors product!

I want to thank everyone for helping me think through this.


I cannot carry on like this anymore: I have few sore points (reputation amongst friends for being an executive, bragging about setting up a new practice, and let my parents also brag about it, and the money in bonuses, plus I can kick ass of few people :p) but I will leave them for what they are worth. None of them have the potential to bring me much satisfaction.


Moved ON! Thanks for all your help.

Yes, ChicBrownie is correct on that. My rule should read Beware of the FUD Factor

Here is a summary list of my Ten Rules for Non-Trads

Rule 1: Take a Breath

Rule 2: Trust Your Gut

Rule 3: It Depends

Rule 4: Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

Rule 5: Do Not Risk Bad Grades By Taking Too Much

Rule 6: The MCAT Is Your Friend

Rule 7: Learn To Be a Student

Rule 8: Premature Application

Rule 9: The “6P” Principle

Rule 10: The FUD factor: Beware of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt

Not sure how to put it … but I am kinda sorta thinking like one rule or the other.


Just printed them and they are on my desk. Going to read them everytime before I start acting.


Thanks.
