I appear to have lost my bookmark, it was about 30 minutes in to an episode of the podcast The Energy Gang, or their sister podcast, during an interview with a CEO that has raised nearly a billion dollars over the years for battery related businesses.
This is vague enough that perhaps you shouldn't take my word, but I unfortunately don't have the 15 minutes this weekend to track it down... if I find it again I will try to email you.
I'm lost and confused. Don't know which way to go. Back to material science and batteries, or towards data and coding more. I used to make decisions always using the desired end points.
One thing I know is that it doesn't matter which field or topic you go into. No amount of career-searching is going to do much in making us less confused. Too often we grow up being told (explicitly or implicitly) that our jobs and careers are our identity. This screws us up big time and sets us up for a life-time of confusion, if not worse.
Maybe tell me more about your personal life. Do you live alone? Have a romantic relationship? How's your relationship with your parents? Or maybe, how do people at work see you?
