I’ve come up with a simple test that helps me determine whether or not I really like my job. It’s so simplistic that most people will reject it immediately. But I’ve found that it works for me.
On a Sunday evening after enjoying a couple of days off work I ask myself this question:
“Am I excited, indifferent or depressed about going into work tomorrow?”
If I’m excited I’m in the right job.
If I’m indifferent, I might have other things on my mind, but it’s a red flag.
If I’m depressed, I should find another job immediately.
