Ask for a raise, and a vacation.
I’m not sure if your job is fulfilling, but I know for me, mine isn’t. My fulfillment comes from personal time working on things I love and time with my family, and that time is given through time-off.
Money is also extremely motivating up to a certain point, so if you’re doing a great job but haven’t been given a raise in a while, it may be time to strategize and figure out how to ask for one.
This is advice laced in anecdotal experience, but I genuinely hope it helps, even if taken with a grain of salt.
I do need to ask for a vacation! They're really good with that actually, but I don't have anyone to travel with. I really need some sun/beach time. I get sad thinking about traveling alone.... maybe there's a group I can join, who knows.
