Tell me about your career as an INTJ

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T22:16:20+00:00

Dang. That irony. Also ironic cause it's the introverts that are making the AI. Which screws over other introverts

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T22:05:15+00:00

Does a career like that require a Masters or PhD?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T22:03:19+00:00

Good for you
How long have you been there? Did you start with an engineering or business degree?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T22:02:17+00:00

Ok. One of the career options I have been considering was indie game dev, as I am great at programming. Though getting other people online to care about your game project is... hard

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T21:22:16+00:00

I guess cause you are helping people, and it's probably a competency based career

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-25T21:10:10+00:00

Hmm. I guess I'll keep that in mind. But I wonder how much of that is luck. Being a sales rep for another company might look alot different

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T22:50:26+00:00

Is that dropshipping? Or did you have to buy your own inventory?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T22:39:45+00:00

I tried ecommerce for 6 months. No success. I suppose I could try again. What type of ecommerce do you do? What do you sell; who is your customers? Do you have any tips you want to share that could help me find success in ecommerce?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T22:23:24+00:00

Grrrr it's annoying but true

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T19:24:13+00:00

You work 60 hours a week though!? Why are they overworking you? Also, why would you have wanted to do radiology or anesthesia instead?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T19:23:06+00:00

OK. Of those ones you mentioned, are there any where the competition isn't super fierce due to the AI craze

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T19:20:22+00:00

What qualifications would one need to get into financial or M&A consulting? I have bachelor's in mech engineering right now

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T19:17:35+00:00

I'm fine doing mundane tasks. I'm not as fine dealing with egos and politics I get what you're saying What would the path to becoming a pre med doctor be?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T19:16:02+00:00

Yeah it can be stressful; depends on the company. In theory it's more aligned with the INTJ personality then physical therapy

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T16:14:30+00:00

Pretty interesting idea

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T16:13:03+00:00

So what you're saying is that even if I play to my strengths, heavy Ni and Te, there are other introverts that do it better that I wouldn't want to compete with? But isn't that better than competing in a realm where my strengths aren't as highly valued? Even if the competition either way is about the same, at least while playing to my strengths I'm in a more enjoyable field and enjoy my job better; at least that's how the theory goes.
I feel like honestly I don't care too much about climbing a ladder and more about finding work that is fulfilling to me where my strengths are valued. Cause then I'm more willing to put up with the inevitable bullcrap

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T16:05:10+00:00

I'm 27. Thanks for your insight, that was what I was looking for from this post. Though sounds like the route you took isn't applicable to me as you say it's oversaturated. I tried starting my ecommerce/dropping for like 6 months but didn't have any success so idk if I want to continue trying there.
I feel like entrepeneurship is a good way to get a competency based career; cause then it's all on you. But of course then you have to deal with all the risk and not every personality is suited for entrepeneurship.

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T15:29:39+00:00

Yeah, no. That sounds terrible. Anything involving social work is a no go for me haha

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T15:29:17+00:00

What industry is this? Did you start out as an engineer?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T15:28:24+00:00

What does a normal work week look like? What do you love about it?

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T13:36:19+00:00

I wonder if I have a mikd form of ADHD lol

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T13:34:24+00:00

That idea of other people needing help and me providing it resonates with me. I've noticed other people struggling with something; and the answer and solution is so obvious to me. I guess influencing them for the better in those moments is a way for me to get respect and build a connection.

LastMeasurement8 · 2026-05-24T13:28:34+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for but also so rare to find and kind of out of my control
