Scratching someone else&#x27;s itch is never as satisfying as scratching your own. That being said, it&#x27;s possible to derive some satisfaction working for other people, yes, particularly if what you end up working on is challenging and non-repetitive, and you&#x27;re able to see the product grow and take shape over its lifetime from a crude mock-up to a (hopefully) complete product.<p>That being said, you might just be in a bad position and&#x2F;or at a bad company, and you&#x27;ll never truly feel &quot;happy.&quot; If you give it a few months and still aren&#x27;t feeling it, perhaps consider lining up your next position, possibly in a different field or working with different tools than you are now. Maybe your next one will catch on with you better than this one.<p>Good luck!
