Different strokes and all that. Some people are really goal driven and NEED that north star to aim for.

I'm not in that group. I just go with the feels and flow and if something interests me, I go there and investigate if it's fun.

If I had followed my "plan" from a decade+ ago, I'd be a middle manager / scrum master in a small/medium company with an ulcer and SSRIs. Maybe next in line for regional manager.

Had an opportunity to do something different and more varied, took it. Haven't regretted for a second.
