I just graduated with an existing job at a startup I’ve been working for almost a year now.
I wanted to get out since there are not enough benefits and pay for me to properly find growth anywhere in my life (I’m only able to afford rent and some groceries, no car, no health insurance, etc.)
I’ve done a lot of research work in my undergrad which led me to apply for PhD (results expected in the next few weeks) but since it’s never a guarantee that I get to grad school, I also attempted some job applications but failed at the final round.
Kind of bummed out with my current situation but I’d rather live like this than get paid more working for a job I don’t find interest in.
Is it narcissistic and dumb of me to only target apply for jobs that I find interest in (e.g. the products/projects that are being worked on and general team culture)? I especially disliked rainforest when I met their leadership at a private event I went.
Am I too stuck up with my values? (can I even call it values) Should I just suck it up and apply everywhere that looks legit?
