All your thoughts, feelings, and emojis about work right now

With all this talk of burnout, career stall, the still-raging She-cession, and an entrepreneurship boom, one thing is for certain: Work is on the brain. But we wanted to know how you’re feeling about work at the moment. As always, you had some thoughtful answers. We rounded up:

•	What makes you want to stay in a job (TL;DR: compensation, good people leaders, respect)
•	How you feel about returning to the office
•	Some recos on how Ellevest can help you negotiate for more, land that dream job, and get more money in your hands
