You’re not supposed to fit in everywhere. If you did, the world would be flat, boring and sad. A monotonous bubble with no escape. Like cable news. Or LinkedIn. Kidding. Am I?So why do we expect every job to be a perfect fit? Let’s face it. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea. And most companies aren’t yours either. They don’t value what you value. They don’t work how you like to work. And they don’t appreciate the way you sign off every zoom call like Isaac from the Love Boat. Their loss. Finding the
