I noticed my sim only got the fear of the dead end job once she maxed her career. I don’t believe it goes away until they successfully regain passion for their job. So getting promoted etc won’t make a difference because the fear trait is linked to regaining passion.
I’m really hopeful for the wants and fears, with improvement they will be great I think. I notice relationship wants don’t really happen past asking a crush out though. I liked in the sims 3 how wished seemed to follow each other like, first kiss then going steady then getting married etc.
In my sim's case, she did not have the fear when she went to work, and only developed it when she returned that night having gotten promoted. Not a condition under which "Dead End Job" should be a concern. And she's not at the top of the career yet.
Also I've had sims overcome the fear of a dead end job by regaining their passion, only to have it show up again the very next time they went to work. I have no idea what triggers it or how to avoid it. What I do know is that it shows up unrealistically often, and I really don't want to blow 300 satisfaction points every time the game decides that despite everything work wise going well for the sim, they see it as a dead end for no discernable reason. (Fortunately, there are cheats for that. The one good thing about it being a temporary trait.)
