It sounds to me like you're flourishing?? Like, I get that money is an impediment, but with your skills you are at least able to earn enough scratch to probably achieve a lot of this, especially if you can connect with the right folks.
Just don't get trapped by big paycheques of private sector that are likely to come your way. They can rob you of your 2 to 3 best decades if you aren't careful.
You sound like a real cool dude and if I knew you irl I would be mentally drafting up a plan to trick you into being my friend.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it certainly feels like I'm not. More accurately, I really feel like I'm not flourishing in a sustainable way. Sure, the next three months are going to be a lot of fun doing research and finishing up my graduate degree, but what about six months from now when I'm a washed-up graduate with no job and no school again?
I applied for over 300 jobs last year with zero offers. I'm autistic and I really have a lot of trouble socializing with people, so I really haven't been able to connect with the right folks for the most part.
I mean my DMs are open ๐
