No, I don't feel like my job is full filling. Would I switch though? No. Why?
So why is the job not full filling? Because I dislike and borderline hate the industry we are in: Marketing/Ads. Probably only next to fossil fuels the reason why the world we live in today sucks.
Could I go elsewhere with my skillset? Certainly. But having had terrible employers with whos' products I could somewhat identify with before, I came to the conclusion that it's not necessarily most important what you do but with who.
I really appreciate this take. Sounds like you've found a good situation. I'm sure there's not really a perfect job so you'll always have to compromise on something.
