The current reality of careers in 2024. It's hard to deny and it's the truth. Never too late to learn about the truths and be prepared for the journey.
1. The Dream Company Fallacy
- A great boss is more important than a great company.
- Work for someone who lets you learn, grow, and thrive.
2. Know When to Stop
- Burnout is not a badge of honor.
- Even a small break can make a world of difference.
3. Loyalty is Overrated
- When you're loyal to your employer, your employer wins.
- Keep your eyes and ears open and jump when you find something better.
4. Every Man for Himself
- Your company didn't know who you were before you arrived.
- They won't remember who you are after you're gone.
5. Collect Your Dues
- Don't leave before getting what you are owed.
- A good reference may open up new doors.
6. Leverage Your Network
- When you're on the hunt, make it known.
- Put yourself out there and you might just get snapped up.
