Having a quarter-life career crisis even though you believe you are running after what you want is normal. While it is not easy to shrug it off, some tips and tricks can help you beat it, especially if you know that you are meant to take that particular career path.
Be firm. There will always be better opportunities and jobs. There will always be careers that offer better pays than the one that you chose. However, if you know you are set on pursuing your career, you have to keep your eye on the prize.
