setting career goals seems pretty silly

though im nearly 20 years into my career i barely can predict where i'll be in one year, let alone five

for the first 10 years my only goal was to make more money and not hate work

not a great goal from a hiring manager perspective

as a hiring manager, i ask what folks like to do and see if that aligns with what we need them to do

Ok, you've said what you did in the beginning of your career and what you now do when it comes to career goals. Did this work? Do you consider yourself successful? If so, do you consider yourself successful in spite of or because of your lack of career goals?

I don't know you, so it's hard to draw much from what you're saying.
