I am Sibeesh Venu, I love to consider myself as a writer rather than an Engineer who has completed my Bachelor of Technology and have around 7 years of experience in the software industry. So far I have worked with many companies, including startup companies and multinational companies. After joining any company, I asked this question “Do I love this job?”, “Is it what I am capable of?”, “Is this work challenging me?”. Sometimes, the answer to these questions come in the form of my resignations. In this 7 year span, I have learned a few things, and I am happy to share that information with you all. You can always see the articles related to career advice here.

I am always passionate about great quotes, and a few words can really change your life. So let me start with some quotes.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

— Steve Jobs

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life

Here in this post, I am going to share a few questions and by answering them, you will be able to identify whether you love your job or not.

We all know that a week starts from Monday, and for many people, Monday is as boring as the truth. So my question to you here is, in the last 30 working days, have you ever felt happy or enthusiastic to go to the office? There is a reason why I have given 30 days in the question, I really want to know how much you hate your job. Now, if your answer is above 15, then you are doing perfect and you don’t need to read this article, though I wish you would read until the end.

But what if your answer is, below 10 or even less than 5? Then you are not going in the right direction, you may need to fix that as soon as possible. Because, as long as you wait, you lose your best part of life.

Now we are in our office premises, and the average time we spent in the office daily is 9 hours. I agree that there are people who work more than 12 hours, some people spent less than 7 hours too. Let’s stick to 9 hours for now, in that 9 hours, how many hours you are feeling happy? Is your inner mind saying that you are satisfied? If you can count at least 5 hours, then it is very good. But anything less than 4 hours is bad, and consider that you are wasting half of your life. You are trading yourself in a wrong way.
