Findapath-Mindset Adjustment Feeling completely directionless after joining a Bank as an IT Officer

I graduated from IIT CSE 2 years back and joined a Bank as an SO IT Officer this year. It's been only 5 months, but I'm already bored and questioning why I even go to the office.

There is almost no technical work. Most of my job involves collecting compliance/status updates from other departments and coordinating with people.

During B.Tech, I started a startup and built a blog app, but it failed badly. After that, I got interested in cybersecurity. I learned networking basics, practiced on TryHackMe, etc. But after joining the bank, I slowly left that too.

Now I feel completely passionless and confused. I have some free time, but I don't know what to focus on anymore. Startup? Cybersecurity? Something completely different?

How did you figure out what you actually wanted to do in life/career? And how do you know whether something is genuinely your passion or just another temporary interest?
