In this episode of the Recalibrate Podcast, I share my personal journey of transitioning from a secure, corporate job at a big 4 in tech consulting to pursuing my passion for mental health at a startup as a product manager. For those of you who are interested in finding a new job but aren't sure how to get there, for those of you who feel unfulfilled or drained by your job or honestly just confused about what's next - this one's for you. In this episode I walk you through my journey of changing careers, how I got to where I'm at finding a job that feels fulfilling, and how you can do it too.
I dive into the challenges of balancing personal and professional life, explore the pros and cons of working at a Big Four corporation, and how to navigate the job search (read: how do I overcome the LinkedIn "black void"!!??)
Not happy but also not ready to leave your current role? I got you - I share tips on finding fulfillment in your CURRENT job if you're not ready to leave, encouraging you to use your job as a stepping stone toward your aspirations.
