I am in my second job after grad school and am noticing a pattern in how I feel about my job as time goes on. In my first job, I felt bored and restless around the 1.5-year mark and eventually left. Now, after 2.5 years at my current job, I find myself feeling bored and disinterested again. I fulfill my responsibilities and do them well, but I no longer go above and beyond as I did in the first year.
Is it unusual to feel this way, or is it normal?
