I am now back in Malaysia for vacation for a few weeks. Trying to find myself and motivation.
KL is very busy as usual, traffic jam etc.

Motivation now basically is money, which is important for survival.
Anyone in this age group becoming lost? Or is this midlife crisis?

Well mine midlife crisis is different I’m 44, my single mom have to be admitted in back in hometown. Didn’t expect her dementia condition to happened way much earlier. I was expecting about 10 (nearing my retirement age) more years so I can retire n stay with her back hometown, but oh well, things don’t go as planned. If she is still ok today, I would still be working in this non profit as I like my colleagues and the work I do into foreseeable future n wages is not priority

Now it really shaken me up, coz nursing home is not cheap and the cost of elderly care will just go up in the future. I have to find another higher paying job to cater for this eventuality.

And yes , looking at the Jobstreet postings, it’s very intimidating & terrifying reading the JD , as I’m IT mgr for 18 years here but also does the works of Marcom/finance/admins/operations/etc. it’s very depressing & having anxiety
