I am too impatient for corporate. Where do I go?

OP is it really that you like to be busy during the day and you don't have enough work to do?

While you are employed start a side hustle.

Small companies can have their own issues, so don't take advice to look there as necessarily a panacea. Yes, there can be less bureaucracy and more agility, but there can also be nowhere to escape your management layer if there is an incompatibility. You may have less variety in work, and more pressure to produce because the company has less in the way of human and financial resources. That lack of resources can also limit your effectiveness. Small companies are usually operate in the image of their founder(s), which may or may not be a good thing. Not all small companies suffer from these concerns, but many do.

I totally get it, OP! I was you and started a small business. I've never been happier.

So....

Maybe you just need to care less about your job.

I used to be more like you and the reality is, most of the time that just makes people not like you. It's better for your career to just do the best you can and go along to get along.

+1. I’m so much happier as a consultant than an employee. No political drama and move at my pace (warp speed).

But I also have 25 years of experience, multiple advanced degrees, and a niche area that no one wants to do themselves….so, it works

I’d look into a sales job

You need a job where success is defined solely by your activities. But really you need to grow up and realize that there are a lot of moving parts
To getting things done and often the behind the scenes work is often more difficult, challenging and important than the end result.

Np, based on your dislike of bs, I definitely don't recommend joining the federal government. It's alarmingly overflowing with bs processes, programs, and leaders.

How does one find a startup? Can't just search for "startups in need of employees"

You inquire into company size and length of time in business when interviewing. And, look for relevant company descriptions online, which may include descriptors like "new company", "founded/established in 20XX", etc.
