I’ve decided I need a change in my career. Am I scared about what the future looks like? Of course, I am — it’s a huge change for me. But, I am more excited about the challenges, the learnings and the new path I am creating for myself. I am not starting from zero. I am just rerouting. And that’s brave and amazing. If you're interested, feel free to read my full article

Over the last 2 months I've been contemplating my next move; asking myself the serious questions about what I want. As in anytime of transition, it's important to take stock of life and career. I'm very proud of what I've accomplished over the years, in the work I've done, the team mates I've helped, the colleagues I've mentored, and the outcomes I've achieved. As many of us in tech have experienced, there is no real security - just a label we attach to outward facades. The truth we all know is that no job will last forever. No company can make that promise. So rather than be attached to title, industry, or product - I'm evaluating my opportunities based on alignment. I'm not just looking for companies and leaders who align, but the role and opportunity too. Do I get to lead and help my team grow, collectively and individually? Will we build something collaboratively that pushes the industry forward? Is there a puzzle to be solved and a challenge to be overcome? I imagine I'll find myself at another startup, but I'm not discounting corporate jobs. I want to go where I'm needed, and my skills can make a real impact. Your guess where that will be is as good as mine, but I can't wait to find out. 😊

Should I Close My Business and Pursue a New Career Path? Answers: https://lnkd.in/g3mJxMzN #CareerChange #Entrepreneurship #TechJobs #Burnout Hey everyone! 😊 So, I'm 27 and after 5 years of running my own financial consulting business, I'm seriously considering making a big change. Lately, I've felt completely burnt out and lost my passion for what I used to love. I’ve always taken vacations to recharge, but honestly, the stress creeps back in the moment I return. At one point, my business was thriving, bringing in over $1 million in revenue with a team of 15, which is great! 💰 But now, I find myself wanting to switch gears and gain some experience working for a tech company or even a startup. I know stepping away means sacrificing some income, but luckily I’ve saved enough to support myself during the transition. Here's where I hit a bit of a wall: aside from running my business, I don’t have a ton of experience in other fields. I have a marketing degree, but that’s about it. So I’m here wondering: What steps should I take to position myself for a job in tech? How do I polish my resume to stand out? Given my background, what entry-level positions or roles...

Most people suck at making career decisions. There's a better way: It's called "The Next, Next Job" and was coined by Andrew Chen, our lead investor at Maven who has had an incredible career at Uber and now Andreessen Horowitz. It is easy to get zoned in on your current situation. You're in a job (or looking for one) and are wondering: where should you go next? There seem to be endless possibilities and no clear choice. Should you focus on being an IC or should you grow into management? Should you join an earlier stage company or get experience at a more established business? What skills should you focus on learning? Instead of getting bogged down in the details, ask yourself this simple question: "What do I want my next, next job to be?" Write down the answer - you'll likely have multiple. Then, take each of your answers and figure out what gaps you have in your skills or your resume. By looking further out, you'll clarify your current decisions and it'll be easier to contextualize your various options. If you have any specific questions related to career decisions, I'd love to answer a few in the comments :) P.S. Andrew is diving into this subject via a Maven lightning lesson - a free, 30 min deep dive into "How to Make Big Career Decisions". The talk will recorded, but we also recommend joining live.

The Right Way to Make a Big Career Transition

Offically a part of the #greenbannergang! 2 months since I joined the job search along side some incredibly talented individuals and it has been an interesting experience to say the least. Jennifer Irwin, MBA posted her own experience which inspired me to do the same. Thank you, Jen ⭐️ In the recent months, I’ve struggled with a full range of emotions. Embarrassment, stress, anger, sadness and more. But, I am lucky enough to have a great group of people who have supported me during this time. I’ve also, met some awesome individuals who shared their own experience and provided me with great advice. Today, I feel excited for what’s next in my journey. Content when looking back on my past experiences. Eager to find a new team to learn and growth with. And motivated to continue searching for a role that fits my goals. 💪🏼 It’s important to know that you’re not alone in this journey. I didn’t see that at first but now, I feel overwhelmed by the understanding and support I’ve received. If anyone would like to chat about their own experience or needs support during their job search, please DM me. We are in this together! What I am looking for out of my next role : 1. #CustomerSuccess - I am highly motivated by proactively ensuring customers an exceptional experience 🥇 2. Fast paced environment - I thrive in the #SaaSStartUp life🏃🏼♀️ 3. Continued Growth - #knowledgesharing is an important aspect in my own growth and my future colleagues. I'm looking for a company and role where mutually beneficial knowledge sharing is valued🧠 If you know of any Customer Success opportunities in the SaaS space, please let me know. Would love to chat!

Guys.. corporate America has taught us (brainwashed us) to look for jobs. Not opportunity. These are the jobs that thousands of people are continually being laid off from. There’s the constant worry of will it be me this time or did I buy myself a little more time? If you like your job, that’s awesome! But either way, start looking for opportunities! Think outside the box. Dream bigger. Start a side hustle so you have control over your future. I’m sure you won’t downsize yourself. 😂 Put yourself in a position where you have choices. Anyone can lose their job at any moment with no notice and no reason at all. Don’t give away your power. I’d love to help! If you’re at all curious about what I do, check out some info below and let’s chat. Zero commitment, zero risk.👇 https://lnkd.in/eY65XqrW #startnow #business #career #additionalincome #sidehustle #sidegig
