We've all heard of the mid-life crisis - typically between ages 40-60.   A period of life where one may begin to struggle with their self-identity.   Typically characterized by feelings of dissatisfaction, inner turmoil, thoughts about mortality and legacy, etc.   What if I told you there's a similar phenomenon in your career?   Mid-Career Crisis.   You've always been a high-performing talent. Promotion every 1-2 years.   Perhaps you're a Director making at least $200K base.   You "made it" by almost every definition.   But rather than feeling blissful in your role,   You are feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and confused.   What's next?   The inner turmoil looks something like this:

1. "I have climbed up so far. Do I continue up this ladder or pivot to a new one? Do I even want to?"

2. You begin to identify options and it feels like there are 100s of them. You find 6 new functions you could theoretically pivot to, 6 different industries with seemingly greener grass, new certifications you could study for, new business you could start, etc.

Which option do you pursue?

3. Analysis Paralysis sets in.

4. Maybe you interview for a roles internally and externally and don't land any of them!

5. Fear of rejection. A bit of shame with some panic mixed in.

6. "Am I stuck? Am I still marketable? Can I even land a promotion anywhere else? Have I become overcompensated for my value?"

7. Plateau. Jaded.
