Let's talk about the not-so-glamorous side of kicking off your career journey. You know, those moments when work feels like it's sucking the life out of you, when you're stuck in a rut, and those aspirations you once had seem like distant dreams. Yep, we've all been there, and boy, does it feel like a whirlwind!

Picture this: you graduate, armed with enthusiasm and a degree that promises a bright future. You land your first job, filled with hopes of making a difference and climbing that career ladder faster than Usain Bolt on the Olympic track. But then reality hits. Work looks nothing like what you imagined. It's not all glamorous projects and corner offices; it's more like endless meetings, mind-numbing tasks, and a constant battle with imposter syndrome.
