Hit 100k at 23—So Why Do I Feel So Lost?

I just turned 23, landed a tech job, and hit my dream salary—over $100k a year. You’d think I’d be celebrating, right? But honestly, I feel…empty. I spent years grinding for this, picturing how amazing it would feel, but the excitement lasted maybe five minutes before it faded away. Now, I’m stuck wondering what’s next. I know I’m lucky—so many people would kill for this opportunity, which somehow makes me feel even worse for not being happier. The office politics, endless deadlines, and constant pressure aren’t helping either. Has anyone else felt this way after reaching a big goal? How did you deal with it? I’d really appreciate any advice or stories you can share. Thanks for listening! 🙏 #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceStruggles #MentalHealth #JobCareer
