Dream of working abroad

I have been working for more than ten years. I feel there is nothing interesting to me recently. Every day, work is repetitive routine and I feel it is very dull. What's worse, during this involution period it is very hard for older people to get alternative jobs.

I have no idea how to get a software develop job and not sure where it can solve my current problems.

I feel there islike nothing has been interesting to me recentlately.

“feel like” + “lately” sound more natural.

Every day, work is feels like the same repetitive routine, and I feel it is verit has become really dull.

More natural flow and phrasing.

What's worse, during this involution periodperiod of intense competition, it is very hard for older people to get alternativeworkers to find other jobs.

Replaced uncommon “involution” with everyday phrasing; “older workers” sounds more natural.

I have no idea how to get a software development job, and I’m not sure where it cather it would even solve my current problems.

Corrected grammar and clarified the second clause.

Your meaning is always clear, and you express your feelings directly. Most fixes are small phrasing and grammar tweaks to make your English sound more natural. You're already doing well — keep writing.

I feel there is nothing interesting to me recently.these days.

Suggestion: Nothing feels interesting to me these days.

Note: we generally don’t use “recently” with the simple present tense.

As I mentioned on one of your earlier posts, “involution” doesn’t mean anything outside of science/biology. I suggest you use different words to convey what you mean by “involution.”

Is this what you mean?

> I have no idea which word can
> express "内卷".
Chinese Wikipedia says, “在中国网络文化中,“内卷”一词用来指代内部恶性竞争、过度竞争,或逐底竞争的现象”. I think that “恶性竞争” is “cut-throat competition,” “过度竞争” can be translated as “excessive competition” and “逐底竞争” is “race to the bottom.”

Oh I see! What I really wanted to express is "卷" but not "内卷". "卷" means that someone keeps doing meaningless stuff busily; "内卷" means what you mentioned above.For example, if you see a colleague pretending to be woking after checkout time you can say "别卷了".
