𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫? 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. Nearly 60% of working professionals feel stuck, searching for more meaning in their work. As someone navigating the fast-paced world of tech and innovation, I’ve often questioned myself whether I’m on the right path. Recently, I picked up "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡" by Adam Smiley Poswolsky, and it was one of the most hard-hitting books I've read. It's a refreshing guide for those of us navigating the complexities of a tech career in our 20s and 30s, especially when we’re craving more than just a paycheck. The concept of the "𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭" 🥬 truly struck a chord. This mindset encourages us to jump from one lily pad (job or opportunity) to another, moving in any direction that makes sense for our growth. Here’s what I resonated with the most: 💡The 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 job might be a myth, but the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 job is out there 💡Meaningful work doesn’t require being your own boss; it’s about leveraging each lily pad to grow 💡Embrace the idea that careers extend in all directions, rewarding curiosity, resourcefulness, and inventiveness 💡If you show intent, you will be able to carve out time for your creative pursuits beyond work, for a fulfilling career This book reminded me that it’s not about giant leaps but about making small, strategic moves. It’s about aligning your personal mission with your organization’s goals. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

Yes, I often encourage my candidates to view each interview as an opportunity to learn, network, and gain insights, even if it doesn't lead to an immediate job offer. It reduces pressure and often leads to more authentic, engaging conversations. Tezan
