This was at the end of the article Forbes presented me with:

Do you have what it takes to make it to the C-suite? Learn how Fortune 500 CEOs overcame surprising obstacles on the road to the corner office...

I don't want to make it to the C-suite. That sounds awful. I want to help specific people solve problems they have helping other people.

Do other people think like this? Like they want a corner office and a big car? Am I that fucking abnormal that this sounds like a death sentence to me?

Every time I get a promotion I've had more and more distance between me and doing the actual work I get paid a lot more but I hate it. I have very little job satisfaction because the time scale of the things I'm working on has gone from days to months. Most of the time I just feel like I'm getting nothing done and it's incredibly frustrating.

You guys are getting promotions?

Only because I fell into a role that was perfectly suited for my personality so it was easy for me to excel at it. Then my name got around and people started to assume because I was so good at that I must be good at other things too. Which has been pretty hit or miss...
