I lowkey do want to work like that, but it has to be on my own terms. Because Fast paced and high pressure works much much better with my brain than infinite meetings + horribly convoluted bureaucratic hoops to jump through to work productivly + nothing gets done + there’s still high pressure because people are frustrated about it.
Yeah I worked at a T1 help desk that had a pretty consistent high call volume but still gave us enough access to actually fix shit and I low key loved that job. I was good at it, There was a decent amount of variety, no on call, no real responsibility because anything we couldn’t fix got escalated up the chain. It was great. Just clock out at the end of the day and don’t think about it until I worked next.
Conversely my current job which pays far better is the second type you described and it’s fucking miserable.

Ditto. And the worst jobs ive ever had are the jobs where I was bored. To quote Method Man: I do my best work stressed out and under pressure.
