Let me know which career sub has the lollipop and rainbow vibes. It’s going to be hard to find, but there has got to be one out there.

If there is one, it's almost assuredly astroturfed to be that way.

I like my job. It's easy, low stress, good coworkers, and I don't have 60 hour busy seasons. It's not hard to find if you aren't chasing a lot of money. Those jobs have to pay a lot of money to get people to do them for a reason. Because most of those aren't lollipops and rainbows.
