Writing exercise

One of the reasons that I don’t enjoy my former job is that the projects I did were pretty much the same everyday which definitely bored me. I can’t see either the progression path of my career or the future of the company. In addition, I was made to work overtime a lot, however I had never got overtime pay which I deserved. The last but not least, my former boss often contacted me about work at late night which has truly bothered me a lot. Frankly speaking, I don’t want to complain about my old job anymore because it looks like I’m a person full of negative energy which I’m not. The thing I’m most looking forward to about the new job is connecting with people, which is also the biggest challenge to me. As AI develops rapidly, technical analysis will be replaced by AI eventually in a foreseeable future. Humans better focus more on creative work and connection with people which won’t be replaced by computer programming in a short period of time.
