2. The drop in estrogen around perimenopause/menopause worsens symptoms. It leads to late-life diagnoses as women's coping strategies no longer work as well.
3. Perimenopause starts 10-20 years before menopause; women in their 30's can suffer from perimenopausal symptoms.
TL; DR: the perception of “ghost work” can also appear when employees work in functions where failure doesn’t immediately break the company. The work may have value, but the contributions support longer tails, look not needed.

I used to ask direct reports “how does what you are doing map to company strategies?” And if they could not do so we’d talk about what they were working on, how ‘mapping’ might work, and then decide if the work was worth it/ how to learn more about the company so their tactical was also strategic.
This was significantly easier in roles the company publicly supported. For roles where our team failure would destabilize things in a longer timeline, it was extremely easy to not be able to directly map to success, or feel fungible within the company.
Some fertility problems go unnoticed for a decade. I suggest to my younger (25-29) female friends to have their egg reserve estimated, even if they at that point are not thinking about ever having children. This is because the original issue can be upstream of the couple: a parent who had early menopause, or low ovarian reserve, may pass similar characteristics down to their female progeny.
I'll leave aside "the transaction was fraudulently approved" for the moment. I can see a possible, if naïve, thought process being "It's a tiny bank, hedge and crypto do absurd types of silly transactions, let's let them burn their cash since they think yolo with their own money."
There is research that supports your experience and conclusions. See Clifton Strengthsfinder, based on Gallup's research. The gist is: build on your superpowers instead of on the qualities you are less strong.
Ergonomics may seem not a big deal in that list of improvements, however it can make or break surgery technique and a surgeon's career. Many professions that rely on manual dexterity lose practitioners due to long-term inappropriate ergonomics leading to physical damage/pain.
Do you plan to go the paramedic route? I let my EMT lapse once I moved to CA; the scope of work was more restricted than East Coast, where many states rely on volunteer fire and EMT.
It does make risk analysis more interesting. It surprises me how people will think only of the positive or accidental case, leaving adversarial ones off the table (and risk mitigation)
