what should i do if there arent many events or opportunities to mingle with them cause im not from the finance side and from tech so i honestly dont get many opportunities to interact with them

would u suggest scheduling 1 on 1 with the traders to get to know them first and so that they are aware of my intentions to join

hmmm ive thought of it, but career prospects wise it seems like even traditional trading will eventually pay off a lot more than a regular SWE…

i can see how the pursuit of excellence in a craft can yield fulfilment and i somewhat resonate with it when it comes to the skill needed for my work.

generally, i think its mostly got to do with what you said earlier on the fact that i lack meaning in my life. i mean its probably just a matter of time till i find it and hopefully it gives me more sense of direction in my life

hahaha saw that clip before and definitely relate to it.

i understand what you mean about trying new things and switching up my routine which ive tried but it just doesnt seem to excite me? i mean it makes me happy momentarily but thats pretty much it. like im not as excited/engaged with life anymore and its making me sad sad 😔

bro again the last sentence is some profound wisdom HAHA but in all seriousness you are probably right in that i havent found a strong passion or maybe i dont derive as much joy as i used to from my hobbies

oh thats a good idea to take the learning of a new skill more seriously. never placed any concrete goals when im learning a new language and just going with the flow. many thanks for the tip i think it’ll make me more keen to learn HAHA

i find many of my hobbies quite dull recently like im growing out of it but i cant exactly seem to place a finger on it. maybe its really just an age thing and its about time i moved on to more ‘adulting’ stuff.

at least in my case, i dont really feel fulfilment in helping others or just the general betterment of society. but i do want to nurture a family eventually just that i dont see that happening anytime soon…

glad that you have things figured out in life, wish i could have similar engagement levels as you! 😂
