It’s important to be honest about your priorities and the trade-offs you’re willing to make at work, says Harvard expert Joseph Fuller.
Accomplishing a longtime career goal — whether that's crossing the six-figure mark in your salary or getting a huge promotion — might seem like the solution to feeling completely satisfied at work. But chances are, you could still feel empty, bored, or unfulfilled even after achieving this milestone.
A common career mistake people make that can leave you "burned out and unhappy," he adds, is not being honest about your priorities and the trade-offs you're willing to make at work. No job is perfect, but you can find a role that checks most of your boxes if you're clear on your top priorities and which trade-offs you're comfortable — or uncomfortable — making before accepting an offer.
