Anyone else have this feel? Don't even know if the dopamine of one day hitting all my goals will grant me what I'm searching for.

It’s normal to experience this, quite common especially amongst people who work in finance.
Do you find yourself on a satisfaction treadmill, where once you accomplish something, you’re in search of the next goal and the next, leading to constantly feel unfulfilled?
Or are you still trying to accomplish a few goals, but upset at lack of progress so still searching for ways to get there?
You just described being alive...
the search for meaning and God, or whatever you want to call it if you believe in that sort of thing. Very normal human emotion.
Yea I've searched for that (in fact I was baptised as a baby which is such a gift when I think abt it. He truly knew me before I knew Him) which gave me a massive dopamine hit. But now the itch of searching for the next dopamine hit is getting to me. Looking into what the Buddha, the Stoics, the ancient Chinese and Greek philosophers have to say about life. Don't wanna set my expectations too high.
Nothing wrong with that. I hope you find what you're looking for. For me personally, I've searched in a lot of those same places, and they've led me back to my faith more intensely and in depth each time. I'll pray for you.
Nothing wrong with being ambitious or having a lot of goals. Try to practice gratitude and appreciate what you have / what you've accomplished so far, while still striving to achieve the next milestone in your life whatever it may be
I feel like that most of the time, too. Only, sometimes it has a positive tone, other times makes me question everything I accomplished so far.
I feel like John Nash, searching for that one original idea. That billion dollar idea.
Recommend Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl. The second half of the book dives deep into this concept and the pit of despair that accompanies the emotion of not having a strong purpose. This book did a lot for me - recommend it for a new perspective.
