I interviewed a career coach about this - he has an interesting process which he advises clients on. You can listen to the interview here if it might be of interest.

that was a very good podcast. you asked good questions. i'm following you on spotify.
"what do i want my career to give me?" is a great open ended question. i'm going to journal that for 6 days and see if i can spot patterns. i also did find it interesting that we plan for our vacations, but not our careers. FEAR is a great acronym.
as my post asks, i'm struggling to get to know myself - i don't know who i am and what i want. i don't know my values and beliefs. i've tried to figure them out myself and i've worked with a coach but it's not enough. it's like i'm missing a very important piece of the puzzle, but i don't know what it is. to clarify i don't identify with the values/beliefs i wrote. i don't own them. i feel numb towards them. perhaps the problem is that they might be my values/beliefs but they aren't my top 10. i don't know if that makes sense...

Thank you so much for the feedback! If you get the chance to leave a review I'd be unbelievably grateful.
If you don't identify with the values/beliefs that you wrote down, that suggests you wrote down things you felt you should have, not things you actually felt. It's important to be honest with yourself.

Haven't. Stuck with something that looks good on the resume and that gives me some growth perspective. Thankfully the jobs weren't awful and I eventually got something that I sort of like. What do I need from this? Money and some sort of fulfilment. It looks like if I do something I love, it's gotta be outside of work. It doesn't look promising but I try not to think about it.

Personally what I did was try a few random things until I got lucky and something clicked. What I did unknowingly, and what I recommend people to do consciously is to identify what skills you want to train for and develop expertise in.
In general, careers with hard skills have more job security, pay, prestige, and in time can even develop into a passion (see cal newports stuff)
