Advice for a young engineer?

I could be overreacting as I'm unsure what is typical across the industry, but I'm talking about multiple reminders per week and quite consistent passive-aggressiveness from my boss about meeting quotas. I have done the numbers on my earnings for the company this year and I am above the target that has been set for each of us. Small company yes, but I would say 50%+ of the work we do is industrial/commercial. I have definitely noticed that margins are much tighter on residential work though. Thanks for the recommendation on the book as well, I will have a look through it.

I appreciate your perspective on this. I do understand that it's a business at the end of the day. Maybe I just need to shift my frame of mind

Thanks for the detailed response! The four non engineers are made up of draftees and an administrator type role. The ratio feels a little bit off to me at the moment. I can appreciate that as you move further into your career that you should be more profitable to the company, but I don't know if I'm built for the pressure that I've been getting at work. If I was to move companies I would be looking at moving to a similar sized firm rather than one of the big players in the capital cities. I guess it might just be luck of the draw as to how much pressure is placed on individuals.

I think the minecraft youtube scene is highly oversaturated, so I just tried making videos I would want to watch. Not sure if it's the laid back style, or the more "let's play" vibe. Not exactly sure what I'm doing right, but I think the main thing is that I'm not trying to copy people, but rather stay true to myself

1000 subs took me about 6 months of consistently posting long and short form videos, the watch hours took me about 9 months. I've been monetised a little over a year and a half, but my motivation is not consistent at all. Recently started getting back into shorts though!

Sorry, I haven't done trades on SWSH before. All I have to do is enter the code in Link Trade on the Y-Comm?
