I can’t speak for others, but I’ve never met anyone really successful in the industry that hate their job, or were purely driven by the grind.
Every single one have been deeply passionate about their craft.
Not saying that you can’t grind your way to success - earning enough to retire at FAANG firms is possible, just by grinding. But the vast majority, even those with a grind mindset, will not be able to do that.
respectfully, you probably do not know the inner motivations of every successful person you know. what may look like passion to you may be grind to them
