Replying to
I suspect people peak in drive ~28-30. You’re past imposter syndrome and insecurity but cynicism and bigger failures haven’t yet hit. You’re still early career/high potential. So 22-28 answers should be gains.

Depended on job. Most jobs I had slowly destroyed drive. Would leave and restore it. Now self employed and how I define drive changed completely. Drive now for creativity rather than rewards
