I don’t remember exactly when it happened or how it happened but I went from the geeky engineering student who just wanted to get out and start working to a seasoned professional (ok, people can argue that I haven’t really been truly “seasoned” but hey.. this is my blog) with a very very stable job. Looking back, my past 8 years of experiences and its inherent instability have somewhat made me addicted to a constant change.
Now, in my role within a large enterprise where I don’t have to constantly worry about the survival of my employer every week has made my professional life stable and very stale. Nothing ever changes anymore. I know who to talk to when I’m trying to get something done. I know how to put in minimal effort for maximum results within this environment. One might call this a very good job and that’s very accurate but I can’t shake the feeling of being bored… Maybe it will pass.. what do you think?

I kind of long for that kind of stability, but mainly because I’ve worked for smaller firms for most of my after-graduation career. (Ironic, since my internships have been with larger corporations.) I like the flexibility of smaller companies, but want the stability of the big ones; maybe I just need to find a non-bureaucratic corporation that acts like it’s small. Like Apple seems to portray.
