From Army to Engineer: Struggling With Office Politics After Military Life! 😫

Four years ago, I was leaving the Army with just $50k to my name, unsure of what civilian life would bring. Now, at 27, I’m about to graduate with a net worth of $200k and no debt, thanks to the GI Bill and the financial discipline I learned in the military. But honestly, transitioning to my new engineering job has been way harder than I expected. The office politics, unclear expectations, and constant competition are so different from the straightforward structure I was used to in the Army. I find myself stressed out, second-guessing my decisions, and feeling like I don’t fit in. Has anyone else struggled with this kind of transition? How did you handle the workplace drama and find your footing? I’d really appreciate any advice or tips you have. 🙏 #JobCareer #CareerTransition #OfficePolitics
